I didn't copy and paste, I just typed it
The Windows %path% environment variable should by default consist of this:%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\WbemIf all that has been nuked by a Java install (this is known to happen sometimes, by the way) you have problems, as has been noted. Typically, this is caused by an installer over-writing the path variable when it should be appending to it. I believe this can happen with systems where the previous path string was over a certain number of characters (some installers barf at 512, others at 2048)
javac is not a folder.I'd be more inclined to think they nuked it themselves by editing the path.
By default it did consist of that, but I changed it to what it currently is because that is what websites told me I needed to do in order to make the command "javac" work
okay so what should i do? how do i get my default path back?
