Cumbersome indeed. You could also have them copy/paste something like
    cmd /C %JAVA_HOME%/bin/jshell.exe
into the search field (does that still work in Win10?), but it assumes
that JAVA_HOME points to the JDK... which is gonna be the case (isn't
it?) if they _just_ installed the JDK, but not necessarily otherwise.
