C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin
Within a DOS window, you would do the following:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin
To make the change permanent, you'd have to update the system or user environment variables. To do this, right click on "My Computer", choose "Properties", click on the "Advanced" tab, then click on the "Environment Variables" button. Select the "PATH" line, click the "Edit" button, and add the appropriate directory to the end of text that already exists for the PATH.
