Help me in Setting Classpath

[himgar]

I have set two environment variables for JAVA JDK.

1. PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin;%PATH%

2. CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\lib\tools.jar

When I compiled the file using javac it was done successfully but when I ran the file using java command I got the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: HelloWorld

You don't have to set the classpath to the JDK folders. The java command knows where they are.
Are you setting the variables in a batch file or in the whole system?
Open a commmand prompt and enter:
SET
Copy and paste the full contents here so we can see what you have set.

Edit

PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin;%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0
_12\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin;%PATH%

to

PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin;

Any good reason you want to create CLASSPATH?

[himgar]

I changed the PATH in Environmental Variables as suggested by peter and removed the CLASSPATH but now it is saying "javac is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

[peter_budo]

How did you change PATH? Did you you adjust also Java version number to reflect your installation (1.6.0_versionNum)? What operating system you have and what Java installation you used (32bit/64bit)?

[himgar]

Sorry Very very sorry! my mistake to include wrong version number.

And Thanks a lot after all ran my program.

Thanks to Daniweb Quick help.

there is an another solution
just set the classpath to the location of your program
the error will be removed
