setting classpath variable while using javamail

I am trying to use JavaMail API. i have downloaded javamail 1.4 and jaf1.1.1 . i have changed classpath variable to

C:\Program Files (x86)\jaf-1_1_1\jaf-1.1.1\activation.jar;C:\Program Files (x86)\javamail->1_4\javam ail-1.4\mail.jar

I copied a program from net which will send a mail to my gmail

// File Name SendEmail.java

import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;

public class SendEmail
{
   public static void main(String [] args)
   {    
      // Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.
      String to = "[email protected]";

      // Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned
      String from = "[email protected]";

      // Assuming you are sending email from localhost
      String host = "localhost";

      // Get system properties
      Properties properties = System.getProperties();

      // Setup mail server
      properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);

      // Get the default Session object.
      Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);

      try{
         // Create a default MimeMessage object.
         MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

         // Set From: header field of the header.
         message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

         // Set To: header field of the header.
         message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                                  new InternetAddress(to));

         // Set Subject: header field
         message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");

         // Now set the actual message
         message.setText("This is actual message");

         // Send message
         Transport.send(message);
         System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
      }catch (MessagingException mex) {
         mex.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

This is getting compiled properly but it gives me a runtime error saying

could not find or load main class SendEmail

i have given proper file name and i am sure i have run it using java SendEmail

Not only this program , all other simple java programs are also giving me the same error.

But if i delete my classpath variable ,then all other programs are working fine.

you need to set path to the class file which gets generated after compiling your java file.

suppose your file is in D:\ you can set class path to that like following

set CLASSPATH="D:\"

which will help java to find your class file present under that path.
