We all know the importance of CLASSPATH for Java. Setting PATH/CLASSPATH is very easy but some of us facing difficulties. For them I want to contribute from my blog. Following steps will provide how easy we can set CLASSPATH/PATH for Java.
Step 1: Download and install Java if not available on your box. You can download from the following URL:

Step 6: Once Environment Variables window is opened click on New under System Variables and enter Variable Name as PATH and Variable Values as Path of Java Bin Folder(previously copied path) and click OK
Step 7: Go to JDK folder -> open lib folder and copy the path
Step 8: Repeat the steps 4 and 5. Now click on New under User Variables and enterUser Variable as CLASS and Variable Values as Path of the lib folder and click on OK
