As you could have seen from the output on the console, your javac.exe was successfully found. Javac couldn't find your Hello.java file (as it wrote).

Use the dir command at the command prompt to see what files are in the current directory.

Your were not on the desktop when you did this command:

C:\Users\Havard>javac Hello.java

Move Hello.java to the Havard folder and try again.

I bet your desktop isn't named 'Havard' ...

If Hello.java is on the desktop you need to go to \Users\Desktop. Then run. Don't work? Reboot. Rebooting is always the elixir. Come on, you go to Havard University. <winks>
