path and classpath

Comment:
I want to use jdk. Need to set path and classpath. Don’t know anything about it. I can go to “start>control panel>system>advanced>environment variables”. Upper window is user variables for dell. Lower window is system variables. In lower window I can see path that is “C:\WINDOWS\sysem32;C:\WINDOWS;C:WINDOWS\system32\WBEM”. I installed jdk1.5 at “C:\” but can’t use it yet. Answer as easy as possible. Answer what should write where should I write. Using xp.

For PATH, edit the setting in the lower window, and add, for example:
C:\jdk1.5.0_11\bin;
at the very beginning of what is there. Make sure that name matches your install directory.
I am in the camp that believes a system wide CLASSPATH is not good practice.
Each Java app should set up the required CLASSPATH before the Java program is executed.
All of the base Java library functions are available with no explicit CLASSPATH set.
