Windows 10: Specify a preferred browser to open .jar files with java/ flash using JDK se binary/...

In windows 7 I was able to select a preferred browser just to go with java and flash .jar files, but I sort of forget how I set it up. Now in windows 10, the default browser is always the one to open flash and java files using JDK se binary. Is there a way t****t web browser. Chrome is losing support for this and I don't particularly want to have to set an obsolete browser as my default on these computers to run java and flash.


Thanks so much,

jar files

Fixing .jar file opening on Windows requires two steps:

• Open the Control Panel, and chose "Default Programs - Associate a File type or protocol with a program". Find .jar extension (Executable JAR file) there, and pick Java as default program to open this extension. It will probably be listed as "Java Platform(SE)".
  A faster alternative perhaps is straightforward right-click on a .jar file, and then change associated program by clicking on the "Change..." button.
• Now open the regedit, and open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jarfile\shell\open\command key. Luckilly for us, we may specify parameters there for the (Default) value. This is normally: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %*

I Hope this Answers your Question!

 

Cannot set Java to open .jar files by default

I have Windows 10 Home, on an HP Pavilion.

Anyway, today I downloaded a .jar file, and whenever I double-clicked on it, it would not open automatically. When right clicking on the .jar file and selecting "open with", "Java(TM) Platform SE binary" would not show up. Yes, I have Java installed
correctly on my computer. To make matters worse, I accidentally set .jar files to open automatically with Internet Explorer. Is there a way for me to find a Java folder on my computer that I could use to open this .jar file?

Obviously, I want to fix this problem so that I can open .jar files with Java, and Java only. The simplest and easiest solutions/help are greatly appreciated!
