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'.
