In your example you appear to be setting PATH, not CLASSPATH. Both of those Environment variables can be set in the Windows Control Panel: Start->Control Panel-menu-item -> System-menu-item -> Advanced-tab -> Environment Variables-button

What is you OS?.
If you are using XP ......then right click
on My Computer->Advanced->Environment Variables
and there set yor path and class path

The JDK Installation Instructions explain exactly how to set the PATH variable for different versions of Windows. See point 5 in the instructions ("Update the PATH variable").

Please note that PATH and CLASSPATH are different things. Setting a system PATH is a good idea, but I would not set a CLASSPATH at this point.
