Storing enviornment variables

Hi,

I am running Windows XP. I was curious where I can store environment
variables so that they can be stored the next time I boot my
computer. Currentlyi, if I go to the Start Menu, click "Run" I can
type

set MYVAR=abcde

echo %MYVAR%

at the command line. However, when I close the command window and re-
open it, the value of MYVAR is not stored. Where can I put this such
that it is stored permanently?

Thanks, - Dave

[Button] - Choose either User Profile specific or System Wide
variable and click Add.

Right click "my computer" -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment
