Also, in those above places, when you add in a directory, look at the MACROS>> button. e.g. you may want to use different libraries for 32bit/64bit/Release and Debug. You can use the ($ProjectDir) MACRO to give a relative link, and e.g. the ($DXSDK_DIR) MACRO to make sure you get the right libs for your directx development.

So I have ($DXSDK_DIR)\Lib\x86 and ($DXSDK_DIR)\Lib\x64 which also takes the problem away when moving between 32bit and 64bit Windows OS for development.
