JavE question

i have JavE working on one computer (at work), but i can't 
get it working on my home computer because i can't seem to 
convince the damn thing that it's not an UltimateZip file, 
and when i try to run it any other way, instead of treating 
it like an executable, it opens it in EditPad.  grrr.  so 
i guess what i'm asking is, is there any way to create a 
windows-friendly .exe file of it?  windows 95/98 if at all 
possible.  if this is a horribly stupid question, please 
forgive me, i don't know a lot about Java.

Right Click on the file (you might need Shift-Right-Click), and select "Open
With"...

I had the same problem after installing WinRAR, but I learnt to
write "java -jar c:\jave\jave5.jar" (of course replacing the dir
with your own JavE dir on the command line) on the command line.
You have to keep that MS-DOS prompt open as long as you're
working with JavE, but pressing Ctrl-Esc on it is actually a
handy way to terminate JavE if it freezes (it does that quite
often on my computer, might be just because it's lacking memory.

And once there .. at least under XP you can get it to always open with the 
selected program.

My Jar files are currently associated with :
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin\javaw.exe

I suggest you also associate your jar files with the javaw.exe of your Java 
version.

Reinstalling the JRE will also fix it I think.

Under W9x I think you have to open a folder and select Tools -> Folder Options 
-> File Types and change it from there.

 Your fellow inmates here MIGHT know (I don't), but you would
 stand more chance on a Java newsgroup.

isn't there any program like JaVe but not java based ?
