javac i snot recognised as internal or external command

Set your path (not classpath) or type the full path to the command

As masijade mentioned set your PATH variable and you can check this thread for more details on that.

BTW excellent description of your problem, you must really have read all the forum rules and the sticky to make such an excellent post. :P :D
