OK, this is a misunderstanding, I should havbe been more precide: I meant paths to included files (images or child docs). >> - Do not change the paths in general if the files can be found using the >> relative paths.

The first hit for the search "msvc debug environment variable" is this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/100543/how-do-i-set-specific-environment-variables-when-debugging-in-visual-studio The screen shot is from MSVC 2008, but I can confirm that this does still work the same in MSVC 2010.
