Hi;

I just downloaded Java a few days ago and read all I could on setting the path and classpath.

I am a bit confused on setting the classpath for classes.
one place said I had to set it as

classpath=c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\lib\classes.zip

I am confused since the ending part of this path does not exist in the lib folder or any zip file for that matter.

when I downloaded "helloworld test file" put it in its ownfolder
and set the classpath to that folder

At c prompt I type

javac HelloWorldApp.java

It opens my windows pop up for "choose the program I would like to open this file or application with"

I've tried everything I could read about setting the paths
etc but nothing is working.

Can someone head me in the right direction please?

Thank you for helping a newbie : )
