Question

creating a path that works on command prompt

Answer 1

You are setting up the path all wrong. You have to choose the bin folder inside the jdk folder.
E.g:- C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin

More details: docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/windows/jdk-installation-windows.html
