hi CEHJ

junior_in_oracle

ASKER

i told i'm newwwww plz be more specific

CEHJ

The directory you're in. C:\

junior_in_oracle

ASKER

the java is installed in this path

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin

CEHJ

You don't really want to be in that anyway. Do the following and work there

mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\java-proj"
cd "%USERPROFILE%\java-proj"

Open in new window

junior_in_oracle

ASKER

okay man

this is the result

C:\>mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\java-proj"
A subdirectory or file C:\Documents and Settings\mohammed\java-proj already exists.

C:\>cd "%USERPROFILE%\java-proj"

C:\Documents and Settings\mohammed\java-proj>

could you explain this later after you solve the problem pleeeeeeeeeeeeez
