    So, I add the line SET PATH=C:\windows;C:\windows\command;C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin
    to the Autobat.exec, works like I won't it to. then I open a new prompt, it doesn't automatically load

    Try adding this line to the end of your autoexec.bat file:

    SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\J2SDK1.4.1_01\BIN\

    Works for me. I can now execute javac.exe anywhere along with any other executables in that directory from any location.

    Oh...and re-boot.

    thanks, Surf

    I found my problem, whenever I would open my prompt, it wouldn't read the autoexec.bat, but I made it so it would run autoexec first thanks everyone
