+  This variable is used as the path to the executable to use for executing
+  scripts with Node.js on Windows.
+
+  For Windows, any file with a `.js` file extension needs to be executed with
+  the node executable explicitly. Otherwise, Windows could try and open the
+  scripts with other applications, like a text editor. Therefore, these
+  scripts are executed with whatever executable is configured with this
+  setting.
