I believe;

C:\Program Files\Java\jre[version number]\bin

The Java Runtime Environment file javaw.exe (which is the non-windowed version of java.exe) is located at:

C:\Program Files\Java\jre[version]\bin\javaw.exe

In my case, I've got 5 folders in my Java folder, each a different version:

jre1.6.0

jre1.6.0_03

jre1.6.0_05

jre1.6.0_07

jre6
