I set my Path environment variable to look like this:
E:\Programy\Python; ... all the rest
but after I have it all confirmed and call env in command line, E:\Programy\Python is not listed there. How is that?

What is `env` ? How did you set the environment variable ? Did you try `SET` / `PATH` to list it ? – Ofiris Jul 02 '13 at 20:14

@Ofiris No, he tagged it as Windows 8. – Louis Waweru Jul 02 '13 at 20:18

@Ofiris Oh, I'm sorry, you're right. I forgot I have CoreUtils installed. – Louis Waweru Jul 02 '13 at 20:20

Do you use a standard user? – Diblo Dk Jul 02 '13 at 23:45

I use Administrator account. And yes, it's Win8, `env` works here as supposed. To change `PATH` I used My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables – alex Jul 03 '13 at 09:08

After modifying the PATH you need to close the Command Prompt window and reopen it for the changes to take effect.
