How can I fix it? Reinstalling the JRE has not helped. I can right click on a JAR file and select Open With and then select java.exe but there doesn't seem to be a way to specify that that java.exe needs the -jar command line option to run them and so this doesn't work. It correctly changes the JAR file icon to the Java icon but they still won't open on double click. -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]
