Thank you for your respond!
I'm familiar with these operation like using the cmd, modifying environment variables, and all other stuff.
But I'm sending this request for my friend, who is totally freshman to these advanced operation. I don't dare let him modify the environment variables because I am afraid he would corrupt his system.
I hope this software can be more friendly to computer novices.
Thank you again for your respond!
