You might have noticed that you typed a "full path" to the Python application above when launching Python (<code>python.exe</code> is the application, but we typed <code>\Python27\python.exe</code>). In this step, you will configure your computer so that you can run Python without typing the ''Python27'' directory name.
=== Get to System Properties ===
# Open up "My Computer" by clicking on the Start menu or the Windows logo in the lower-left hand corner, and navigate to "My Computer" (for Windows XP) or "Computer" (For Vista and Windows 7).
# ''Right-click'' on the empty space in the window, and choose ''Properties''.
==== If you're using XP ====
A window labeled "System Properties" will pop up.
# Click the "Advanced" tab.
==== If you're not using XP ====
A window labeled "View basic information about your computer" will appear.
# In this window, click "Advanced system settings"
A window with the title "System Properties" will appear.
=== Edit the Path ===
