setting the path variable

I set the path to java so I can type java or javac without any problems. I set the path for XP just like this;

Choose Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click System. On Microsoft Windows NT, select the Environment tab; on Microsoft Windows 2000 select the Advanced tab and then Environment Variables. Look for "Path" in the User Variables and System Variables. If you're not sure where to add the path, add it to the right end of the "Path" in the User Variables. A typical value for PATH is:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_<version>\bin

but it does not work. It does work if I set the path each time I restart my computer, path c:\windows;c:\windows\command;"c:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\bin"
