You probably do not have the java compilter in your path environment setting. Java is usually installed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin. Could be a little different based on your version installation.
Go to that directory to have access to javac. If you can, add the directory to your path by right clicking on computer in the start menu, properties, click environment variables, and edit the PATH system variable by adding the path to where javac resides.

If it has already been compiled into a .class file, then there is no need to use javac.
Instead, navigate in Command Prompt to the location of said class file and type in:
java ex12_5
where ex12_5 is the name of the main class (I'm assuming you have a main method in that class). Also at the end of that, including any arguments read into the program.
Say, for instance you read in two Strings, then it would be:
java ex12_5 string1 string2
