Path??

[Flash]

I am just trying to get started in programming and have just installed jdk 1.2.2. It tells me to alter my path.
I open up autoexec.bat and add the line
PATH C:\jdk1.2.2\bin
as it tells me to.
It then tells my to type path to check it, when I do so it says
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
it doesn't show my addition, also, this line isn't in my autoexec.bat file, if it had been I would have added to this.
Please tell me, how do I do it properly and where is it getting the windows path from if it isn't in my autoexec.bat.
This is for my Uni work so help is as always greatly appreciated.
Still haven't got Easy CD to work though, still using CDRwin.
Thanks again.

Try editing your autoexec.bat file:
Path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;C:\jdk1.2.2\bin

You must reboot to get it load up.

Do you mean add this whole line?
As I said above, the PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
isn't in the autoexec.bat file, it just says that when I tpye path at the prompt.
If I add this whole line, will it not duplicate an existing command?
I will try it though.
