(Printer Friendly Version provided by Swan-Anti Solutions)

To set the Windows Path you have to consider two things.

In Autoexec.bat insert the code as followes


rem --------Starts at first line

path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command


To load the doskey you have to give

c:\windows\command\doskey.com

which will capture all the command prompt commands in buffer which can be found by pressing F7.

After Installing Java Development Kit if the path is not set then give the code as mentioned belove

In Autoexec.bat
insert the lines given below at last

rem -----------Starts here

path=[drive]:\[jdk directory]\bin;%path%
classpath=[drive]:\[jdk directory]\lib

rem ====end of file========

Actually %path% means take the previously existing path which is already set for path.
where as Path is System Variable.

classpath is to include class files path which are necessary to run java.
