.jws default program is notepad, not jdeveloper

Stuart FlemingNov 19 2012 — edited Nov 20 2012
Hello,
I uninstalled jdeveloper 11.1.2.1 the other day and installed the newest version 11.1.2.3. I installed the new version in a different location on my computer. I am on windows 7, home version. I am an administrator on the computer.

Today I tried to open a .jws file and it opened in notepad. I am not sure if this was an error on my part -- I accidentally chose "open with" and it stuck on notepad.

At any rate, there are ways to change the file association, in control panel, default programs. Unfortunately, Jdeveloper does not show up on the list of programs listed. There is a browse button, and I used that and selected jdeveloper.exe, but that did not add the program to the list, and it is still listing notepad as the program to open it.

I tried all of the steps on http://www.techbuzz.in/can-i-change-file-associations-in-windows-7-vista.php

Would anyone have any ideas?

Thank you,
Stuart
