Answer 1

You can set the system-wide environment variables by clicking Start, pointing to 'Computer', right-clicking and selecting properties. Next, click 'Advanced System Settings', hitting the 'Advanced' tab and selecting the 'Environment Variables' button. This brings up a window where you can set your JAVA_HOME variable. You can do this either for the current user (top box) or system-wide.

After doing this, open a new cmd window (Start menu, type 'cmd' and hit enter) and verify JAVA_HOME is set like in the question above.
