[Zope] Changing a Zope environment variable?

[Charlie Reiman]

I don't run zope as a service but there was a thread about this a few days
ago. As is the case with most window problems, fire up regedit and search
for 'z2'. There should be a startup command in there somewhere you can hack
up to your heart's content.
