set variable names are case insensitive. Many people use upper case
because that was the convention under DOS.

I strongly recommend not to set a CLASSPATH environment variable.

This is the ideal situation:

C:\Documents and Settings\user>echo %CLASSPATH%
%CLASSPATH%

I'm surprised Roedy hasn't said this already, given [1] (which you
should read, gk).

If you put it in user, if you logon under any other id it won't see
the classpath. you can set up a different one for each user.

If you put it under system, then very user will see the common value.
