No, that just means that other users on your computer won't be able to
use the variable.  Each shell comes with its own environment.  When you
edit the environment variables from "My Computer"->Properties->Advanced,
the changes won't propagate to any currently opened shells.  Note that
windows explorer is a shell, just like a command line window that you 
might open up.  Rebooting is certainly one way to get everything all
synced up.

You might just try opening a new console.  To verify that your changes 
took effect, try typing (I've put in the output I get on my system):

> echo %EUDIR%
C:\EUPHORIA

> echo %EUINC%
c:\euphoria\include\special;c:\euphoria\include\eusql;c:\euphoria\include\
matheval;c:\euphoria\include\ooeu;c:\euphoria\include\wxEuphoria;c:\euphoria
\include\win32lib;c:\euphoria\include\eucom
