Answer 7

Which OS do you use?

I am going to show you how to set them on Windows 7..

Start Menu-> Right click on computer->Properties->Advanced system settings->Advanced->Environmental Variables

Then add the JRE's bin directory in the path of the system variables.
Double click on path, don't change anything thats already der..Instead add C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin

U must use semicolon before and after the entries..That's it..
Now go to command prompt and type javac..If it still says that the command is not recognizable.....let me knw..
