Hi,
Managing Environment Variables
System Variables
You must be an administrator to modify a system environment variable. System environment variables are defined by Windows and apply to all computer users. Changes to the system environment are written to the registry, and usually require a restart to become effective.
User Variables for User Name
Any user can add, modify, or remove a user environment variable. These variables are established by Windows XP Setup, by some programs, and by users. The changes are written to the registry, and are usually effective immediately. However, after a change to user environment variables is made, any open software programs should be restarted to force them to read the new registry values. The common reason to add variables is to provide data that is required for variables that you want to use in scripts.
To view or change environment variables: 1.Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2.Click the Advanced tab.
3.Click Environment variables.
4.Click one the following options, for either a user or a system variable:◦Click New to add a new variable name and value.
◦Click an existing variable, and then click Edit to change its name or value.
◦Click an existing variable, and then click Delete to remove it.

Thanks,
But can you give me the exact words I have to write in the system variable JAVA_HOME and the PATH variable.
consider last bin path you set in PATH , before that use semicolon.
Also need to set CLASSPATH in class path you set lib path like (D:\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\lib;) and end classpath with semicolon,
in (JAVA_HOME=D:\Java\jdk1.5.0_22 )
After all setting restart your computer ,
Try it hope it's help you,
Vipul

You don't need to restart your computer after changing any system variable, you only need to restart any running application that needs the updated value.
