Setting environment variables?

I want to set a permanent environment variable for the currently logged on
user - as far as I can tell this would be done from the Environment Variables
dialog under the Advanced settings of the System control panel.

BUT - I'm a normal user, and can only access the Advanced Settings by
providing Admin credentials. At which point the User variables that can be
set in the dialog are for the admin account that I just authenticated with!

Is there any way I can get round this and set up persistent environment
variables as a non-admin user?
