can't find JRE in the JDK

i install JDK in

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24

and set the variables as follow:

JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24

CLASSPATH: .;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\lib;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\lib\tools.jar;

PATH: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin

but when i run the java -version command , the error

could not open `C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\i386\jvm.cfg'

comes up. then i move the jre folder out the jdk folder to

C:\Program Files\Java\

and change the folder name to jre6 (then it has the C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 folder) , everything becomes good then .

why this is happening ? it seems to me that it is not the environment variables that are controlling the JVM's location.

If it is not the path that is controlling the location of the JRE it must be the registry:
