System path?

Hi guys, I'm trying to come up with a way to access my *.bb library files without having to copy them locally to my current project directory. I'd like to set up a common directory that has all the standard libs I use, then refence to it in my projects. The problem arises when some of the libs include libs in themselves. It wants to include the lib from my project path and not the path and not the lib directory path. I'm sure some of you have experienced this.

Anyway, I was thinking. Wouldn't it be posible to put that common library directory in the system path? Wouldn't that allow Windows to find the file from anywhere? If so, I'm using Win 2000, anyone know how to set this up?
