That's really NOT a good idea.

Win2k and up look in the executable directory for required DLLs. You
should never need to modify the system directories, and it's a really
bad idea to do so.

See:

I'm not speaking from PostgreSQL specific experience here, so maybe
there's some odd reason why it might be required for the pgsql server.
In general, though, it's a terrible idea to go messing with the windows
directory for program installs.
