Set the environment variable TEXINPUTS.  How you do that depends on the
shell you use. I believe in cmd.exe it is

set TEXINPUTS=d:\path\to\figs;

but don't trust me as I use tcsh. The trailing ; means that you want to
add this in front of the normal search path.

You can set environment variables from all processes running under the
desktop in the `Advanced' properties of `My Computer'.
