You've probably thought of this but not all .class files are executable
where as all .exe files are. You should just double click on a .class
file and windows will pop up a box asking what you want to open the
file. Browse for java.exe [assuming you are using JDK] and tell windows
to always use that program for that file type.

You *may* need to add a 'set CLASSPATH=c:\jdk\bin' or whatever in your
autoexec.bat but I dunno..

Pehaps someone should write a wrapper program for this as this is
something I thought of doing too but I don't us windows much anymore
[linux is actually STABLE!].
