I have java 1.6 on my computer, and I can use it like this in command line:

C:\program files\java\blahblah\bin\javac filename.java

I know I can do just javac and java commands from the folder where my script is in. How can I set up my computer to do this? For example:

cd C:\blahlblah\Desktop\
javac myprogram.java
java myprogram

???

why not use an IDE?
BlueJ is what we use in school.

Ok I'm just learning Java, so this may sound noobish, but would I make an exe for the program? Now in school we just started and are compiling/running in console (mac). how would I run a .class file in windows?

for an IDE - I know I can use one, but I have the above question of running .class

Btw, I'm not a total noob, I know C++ and web languages.

As far as I know you cannot run the .class files, only the .java file with the main method in it. If you move to that directory where the files are located then you should be able to run the commands:
javac myprogram.java
java myprogram

You'll notice that the .class files are created are you javac myprogram.java
Look at screenshot.

You have to adjust your PATH variable.

Hold WindowsKey + Pause/Break to bring up system properties
Go to Advanced tab
Click Environmental Variables
Go down to PATH and add your C:\program files\java\blahblah\bin\ directory to the path
Make sure you put ; between the old path and this new one

Now go to your .java file directory and javac and java should work globally.
