The variable you will want is "JAVA_HOME" and should be set to your JDK installation directory, for example, if you installed your JDK at C:\jdk, then JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk

I set mine up under user variables, but there is only one user on my system so it doesn't make much difference for me.

If you are going to create Servlets, you should also create the CLASSPATH environment variable and add the jsp-api.jar and servlet-api.jar

On my machine, I install Tomcat on C:\Tomcat

So I added the following to my environment variable

CLASSPATH = .;C:\Tomcat\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;C:\Tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;

Please note that the first argument is a dot "." which indicates that the java compiler should look for references starting from the current directory of where you are compiling your classes, before looking at other references.
