title: Cannot find output .class files using javac?
body: <p>I type <code>javac helloworld.java</code> at cmd in win 7.</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\User\Downloads\java_tut&gt;javac HelloWorld.java
  
  C:\Users\User\Downloads\java_tut&gt;dir *.class
  
   Directory of C:\Users\User\Downloads\java_tut
  
  03/28/2014  05:42 PM               429 YourClassName.class
  
  C:\Users\User\Downloads\java_tut&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I searched the following directories for helloworld.class:
  java, jre, jdk, java_tut, jre/bin, jdk/bin, and my entire harddrive.</p>
  
  <p>I did need to manually add the /jdk/bin directory to my path.  I wonder if that matters?</p>
