Hi,
You need to set three environment varibales for that-
right click on my computer ,select properties-go to advanced tab -environment variables-here you have to set three variable name and there path-
1:variable name JAVA_HOME value=path upto the place where your jdk is
2: varable name =classpath value upto ur lib folder is
3:varibale name =path value=path upto the lace you bin folder is
open a new cmd prompt and type java and java c both will run fine

Enjoy java programming.
