Hi friends, 

Today I will show you how can you set Java path and Class Path on windows 7. 

If you want to see the VIDEO you can go through this link directly to know how to set path and class path in windows 7  , Or you can continue to the post below.....

First I will check if Java is installed on my machine or not, for this press CTRL+R keys .

and type cmd.  Command prompt will open. just type java  there as shown below.

Now as we can see we don't have Java installed on our machine we will install java first.

for this you can download Java from there official website (Donwlaod From Here)   or if you already have setup just install that as shown below

Now as Java is successfully installed we will proceed to set PATH and CLASSPATH, For this go to MY COMPUTER and right click on My computer icon as shown below and select ADVANCE SYSTEM SETTINGS .

Now a new window will open as shown below , in this window select ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES click on it as shown.

Again one new window will open that will contain all the PATH  and CLASSPATH  variables for the system as shown below 

Here you have to select Path as shown in above picture and click on edit. Now we need to copy the path of Java's bin folder to this place. below picture shows where to go for the bin folder.

After copying this path now again we will move back to our Environment Variable window ,

Now we need to paste this path there, So just type a semi colon(;) and paste the above path we copied to that window and press OK as shown below.

Now it will look like this

Finally we are done with setting PATH variable for Java, now we will proceed to set CLASSPATH,

Now again go to Environment variable window and inside CLASS window click on NEW as shown below.

When you will click here, it will open a new window. you need to type CLASS in variable name and Java's lib folder path as shown below.

To get the lib folder path search for this location as shown in below image and copy it.

Now we are done, just copy and paste the following Path and click on OK button and exit from all windows.  Now open command prompt and type Java - verison as shown below, And it will tell you the current Java version installed on your system
