Problems running java from command line in windows

Question

I'm trying to compile and run java file using the command line, but it's not working. I've followed the steps on http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/15inout/windows-cmd.html, using the correct file path and a current jdk and I still get javac is not recognized when typing javac -version. What am I doing wrong?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\bin; javac works now, but when trying to run my simple java file by entering java test I get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError — Alwaysdeadfred

You need to add the folder where javac exists to your PATH. It might not be the same path specified in the given link.

close cmd and start again, the path is not refreshed for an already opened session
