Set environment variable not working on Windows 8

Question

I used this command to set environment variable but I don't know why it is not working

D:\Developing tools\apache-tomcat-platform\bin>setx JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\
Java\jdk1.7.0_51"

SUCCESS: Specified value was saved.

D:\Developing tools\apache-tomcat-platform\bin>startup.bat
Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program

Have you restart your cmd window after setting the environment variables? — zdd, Mar 08 '14 at 11:45
why not: set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\ Java\jdk1.7.0_51" ? — robermann, Mar 08 '14 at 12:34
