 1. Go to "run"

 2. Type "cmd"
    -This is where you will have you conversation with Windows.

 3. Use "cd \" (or "cd ..") to get to the root directory (or to go "up" one directory)

 4. type "dir" to display contents of the directory

 5. type "mkdir" to make a directory (i.e. "mkdir cmcculloh" to make a directory called cmcculloh)

 6. Once you have downloaded the file, type "jdk-1_5" and hit tab, and hit enter

 7. accept legal jargon and hit "next"

 8. change install path to "C:\jdk1.5.0_06\"

 9. continue clicking "yes" and "next" until install is finished	

    -inside of c:\jdk1.5.0_06_bin\ you will find javac.exe and java.exe (the compiler and the runtime). 
     this is what we will be using.
