Tutorial: Running a Java Application on the PC
Let's run an application:
1.
Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then Command Prompt.
If the Command Prompt option is not listing in the Accessories menu, you can click the Start button, and then in
the “Search programs and files” text field, specify
cmd
and press Enter.
The “Command Prompt” window will be displayed with the computer's default directory (in this case,
C:\Windows\system32 as in Figure
A-20
). The default directory can be changed, therefore it can be different for every
PC, and so don't worry if yours doesn't match Figure
A-20
.
