Path and ClassPath:
PATH
In Windows 9x you would set it up in the autoexec.bat file
ie.
SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\jdk1.4.2\bin\;
where c:\jdk1.4.2\ is the path where you installed Java.
In Windows 2000 and XP
Right click on My Computer->Properties->Advanced Tab->Environment Variables... Button.
If you see a PATH in System Variables, click that and edit it. If you don't, you will need to create a new System variable.
It should look something like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;c:\jdk1.4.2\bin\;
