This works as well if your home path is C:\
cd %HOMEPATH%

Any other suggestions?

Agreed....avoid spaces in pathnames if you can.

As an aside, there is no reason to switch directories to start Tomcat.
You

can do so by typing something like c:\tomcat\bin\startup.bat from any
command prompt in Windows.

Any help would be much appreciated.

To change the working directory to C: type C:\ and press enter in the
command
prompt (if my memory doesn't betray me - my Windows days are long gone).
Your
steps to start tomcat seem be correct but paths and names in the
description

of environment variables are a mess (JAVA_HOME should have  the "_",
"SystemRoot" instead of "stemRoot", C: must be followed by a "\" in paths,
there is a "-" instead of a space between "jakarta-tomcat" and "4.1.12" in
the standard distribution, at least on Linux). I attribute this chaos to
fast
typing but I'd double check if I were you. My Windows experience taught me
to
avoid spaces in paths also.
HTH,
