This is a Windows question, not a Java question. Windows has the ability to
associate command lines with an extension, including options. Look up how.

"Open with..." is only the common-case shortcut. You need to dig into
control-panelish options to go beyond it.

GIYF.

------------------------------------------

You are such a hard task master Lew.  This question may not be directly 
related to Java _programming_ but it is related to getting Java to work on 
my machine which is necessary if I want to continue as a Java programmer.

Anyway, my Google skills must be a little lacking because I cannot locate 
any link which tells me how to do this in Windows 7.  The File Types tab in 
Windows Explorer has been removed in Windows 7 and the file type 
associations option in Control Panel doesn't seem to allow you to specify a 
command line.
