In what context do you want to set environment variables?

Come off it! YOU know where your compiler is installed - we don't. YOU know what libraries you are using - we don't .

Maybe you should post your IP and someone will be nice enough to remote desktop and set some variables for you. Write you some code also.

Do you know what PATH and CLASSPATH mean? I think that most people who are new don't understand what they are and simply know they have to set them. Knowing what they are makes it much easy to understand how and what to set them. You already know where to set them as pointed out by Sabre, do you know what to set? If not check here
