    My address is : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin

5. Right click on My Computer/Computer and click on properties.

6. Select Advanced System Settings  on the left of the screen (For Vista and Win 7)

11. Type  ;(semicolon) at the end of the string and paste the address you copied

       Eg: ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin

12. Add this after bin \;.; (Slash,semicolon,dot,semicolon)

      Eg: ;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\;.;

13. Click Ok and Ok and Ok :)

14. Open CMD NOTE: If CMD was already open close that CMD and open new CMD and type javac and press enter.
