Hi!
You open a explorerwindwo and at the third menu (i don't know exactly what
its called in the english version) there is a point named options or
folderoptions with active desktop , there will came a tabbed panel and you
go to filetypes, there u use the button "New File Type", there you can
choose a other symbol, at discription u type in the file discripton u want
and a the field below u type in the extention form your files for examel
.class and at the text field below type in the action that you want "open"
and then use button "new" and choose the application u want to use. The only
problem is applets and applications use the same extention so the system
don't know what to use appletviewer.exe or java.exe

I hope that would help a little.

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!].
