Please do as "Paul" suggests...

Be sure to restart your PC, since Apache needs to read this env var
after each PC start.
Don't ask, I can't stand it either.

As it shouldn't!!!
And on your note of...

Sorry John, this is not correct. Use that ENV VAR.
And Peter, no need to use the registry! I have a complete "linux" type
install with PHP, Perl, mySQL, Apache, all without ANYTHING in the
WINDOWS nor anything in the REGISTRY. (web.torres.ws/walters_way)
And as for the "instructions in the official PHP download", I never
worry about those. So many times they are written by WINDOW-centric
folks, with no thought to installation, backup, maintiance, etc. They
do it the "Windows Way".
I have a complete set of install documents on how set up a PC for PHP
(and other apps) with complete disregard for "The Windows Way".
In regards to Jerrys advice of leaving things in the WINDOWS directory.
All well an good, but, back your system up, replace your OS (from
scratch) and then restore Apache, PHP, Perl, and mySQL less than 10
minutes. Not.
And as for "ImOK' advice on the PATH, don't touch it, unless your going
to use PHP from the command line. (which I do from time to time). IF
you do than I suggest placing this in the PATH var...
;%PHPRC%
That way to change the path in one place and it cascades across as
needed.
Hope this helps you.
PS: I have virutal hosts running on my PC for Apache as well. Helps me
test things better.
