javac not recognized xp pro machine
hey, i was wondering how to set the path to
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\binon a xp professional machine?
i have read many threads like this but they didn't work for me.
every time i try to compile a program it says "javac is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
can someone help me fix this permanently?

My Computer, right click -> Properties -> Advanced(?) -> Environment Variables
Add the path given above to the PATH variable, separated from the others with a semicolon.
