Hi Samantha, up to Win98 Windows loads c:\autoexec.bat during startup. No other autexec.bat is read. You can have more than one, but only the one in c:\ is processed.
To run Tomcat you don't need the classpath variable as far as I know. As long as you don't need it for other purposes don't set it. In case you need it: I experienced that including . (dot - the current directory) makes life much easier, like for instance > set classpath=.;d:\java For compiling webapps better use Ant or the facilities in your IDE (I like Eclipse very much). In both cases you don't need to set the classpath variable.
