This guide is for XP users, and is primarily aimed at those wishing to complete the programming lessons.

@joripien You just need to have something like this under the 'CLASSPATH' variable instead of the 'Path' variable. The CLASSPATH variable should be up near the top:

.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\
