Public Class error when compiling with javac

No matter what edits I make, I keep getting this output;

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\bin>javac JavaVersionDisplayApplet.java
JavaVersionDisplayApplet.java:4: error: error while writing JavaVersionDisplayAp
plet: JavaVersionDisplayApplet.class (Access is denied)
public class JavaVersionDisplayApplet extends Applet {
       ^
1 error

The code I'm using is for a JavaCheckVersion;

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class JavaVersionDisplayApplet extends Applet { 
   private Label m_labVersionVendor; 

   public JavaVersionDisplayApplet()  { 
     Color colFrameBackground = Color.white;
     this.setBackground(colFrameBackground);
     m_labVersionVendor = new Label (" You are running Java Version: " +
                                    System.getProperty("java.version") +
                                    " from " + 
                                    System.getProperty("java.vendor"));
     this.add(m_labVersionVendor);
   }

}

Does anyone see anything wrong here?

Ran CMD as admin, & moved the Java file to /Desktop/Java/ and was successful. Thanks everyone for helping me resolve this!

The problem is not related to your code, but rather to the fact that you are trying to compile it while your current directory is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67\bin. You probably don't have writing permissions in that directory. Since the action of compiling a class creates a .class file, the compiler cannot complete the compilation.

Change directory to some place where you are allowed to write, and compile again.
