How are you starting tomcat? If you're starting it with startup.bat or tomcat start, then the class paths are referenced inside the .bat files. Personally, I keep all the class files, .JARs, ETC. inside the tomcat directory. The only environment variable Tomcat uses is the for the JAVA_HOME. Other than that, everything else is referenced by that instance. You can check your class path by typing tomcat env within your \tomcat\bin directory. This will give you the classpath as THAT istance will see it.
If you choose to start tomcat as a service (I'm assuming you're using NT looking at what you have), then what ever classpaths you have in your bat files should be in the \tomcat\conf\wrapper.properties.
Doing it this way allows you the option to run multiple separate instances of TOMCAT using diferent classpaths.
Please let me know if this helped.
