"The System Cannot Find the File Specified"

I have just purchased TextPad. When I try to compile I get a dialog box titled C:\WINDOWS\System32\javac.exe. The error says it can't find the file specified.

I have been using the Command Window with the Java files in the bin(SET PATH=C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin) and the Class path set to a folder I created on the C drive called "Java Programs." (SET CLASSPATH=C:\Java Programs). Using the Command Window works just fine but I'd like to use Textpad because I like the way it color codes my programs and automatically indents.

If anyone knows what I need to do, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Many thx.

Lot's of threads on this in the Java forum, here are few links:
1. Textpad and Class Paths Explained by johnr <- a must read
2. The Java FAQ at http://textpad.com/support/faq/java.html
3. The latest thread related to your problem is here.
Like me, you to can use Search.

Deleting your Java tools and re-adding them in Textpad seems to be
popular for this problem.
