Does your path include the bin directory ?

Have you tried compiling from the Java bin
directory.

i.e. from your Console/Dos, change Directories
to where your Java bin folder is and run
javac from there.

If this works then your AutoExec file is
either not configured properly or you have
issues with your Batch file.

If you're running Win2000 or WinXP try and
configure it via System Icon in the Control
panel. Under Advanced choose Environment Variables
Double click path, you will see a bunch of
other variables that are included in you
Path e.g %system;%SomeOtherPath;IncludeYourJavaBinPathHere;
Make sure you don't play around with the other
path settings though just simply add a ; at the
end and include your Bin path jdk1.Something\bin
Unless the other paths are things that you
don't require to run from other locations.
If you mess up or type over something by accident,
rembmer you can always use Ctrl - Z to Undo.

Hope this helps...

One,
Spike

Just in an afterthought (and because I like promoting the software that I like), you can do this all much easier with an IDE. JCreator is free (google it, I can never remember Xinox SW's web site URL) and it works really well. It isn't visual, but it does syntax highlighting, and all you do is whack a button and it compiles stuff - much easier. It's free as well, though if you want real cool stuff (like a debugger and code-completion) you'll have to fork over $70 (U.S.) to upgrade to JCreator Pro. I like it, though the setup can be a bit of a pain. I can also help you there, but my chair isn't configured correctly and my wrists hurt (can we say tea-break time?), so I've got to go. There's a whole ton of IDE's out there, though! Don't stop looking until you find the one that's right for you!
