    on the command line - edit startup.bat in your tomcat install - it should be in there

    universally:Right click My Computer->Properties->Advanced Tab->Environment Variables
    Under system variables choose New - Name (CLASSPATH), Value - what ever you need.

    the recommended way is to install tomcat as a service so no classpath
    settings required.

    you need jre1.5 and latest tomcat 5.5.7

    you need 5.5.7.exe then after you have installed jdk1.5
    simply double click the 5.5.7.exe and follow the instructions

    it will install tomcat in c:\program files\apache software foundation\tomcat5.5
    you can use the tomcat5w application located in above \bin to configure the
    service

    to view installed services go
    1:start button
    2:settings
    3:control panel
    4:performance and maintenace(Category View)
    5:Administrative tools
    6:services

    tomcat is called "Apache Tomcat"
