Thanks, Richard. It works now.
In summary, this changes the default path to .bib files:

3 reboot.
I don't think the reboot should be necessary. If LyX is running,
though, you might have to restart it (not positive). If you're running
LaTeX (MiKTeX?) in a DOS shell, you definitely will have to close the
DOS shell and reopen it.
Changes to environment variables should take effect immediately in the
sense that any program (or DOS shell) started after the change should
see the new environment variables. Stuff that's already running
inherited whatever environment variables were in effect when they
started, and their environments are not updated.
