I had a file that was .jar saposed to be a java prog. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a> views it as a zip file... So i choose "open with" and DESELECT the "use this prog. all the time" and click ok.... <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/well-734398" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WELL">WELL</a> what do you know now all .jar .zip /unknown are reassociated to to java with no way to switch it back as i dont know what program is used to open .zip to begin with... I'm talking about the internal windows prog. i dont want to insall new software... thanx in adv.<br/><br/>Oh Yea, and right clicking on the .zip file doesn't give any extraction options, Way to go Vista!! Wahoo I'm so glad you cant buy a comp with XP anymore...Ok Well if no can help can some 1 lead me in the right dirrection, this is kinda a big problem for a new comp.... as it is I cant <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/even-976335" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EVEN">EVEN</a> extract a file unless I installed a new program... I know it would be an easy fix if I knew what program is used for this and where it wasI thought .jar files were FireFox extensions or themes ? ?<br/><br/>I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/see-630247" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SEE">SEE</a> they also are java based as well.<br/><br/>Have you looked at MS's database for how to repair file associations in Vista ? ?Not just Firefox.<br/><br/>"JAR file is a file format based on the popular ZIP file format and is used for aggregating many files into one. A JAR file is essentially a zip file that contains an optional META-INF directory. A JAR file can be created by the command-line jar <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/tool-25818" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TOOL">TOOL</a>, or by using the java.util.jar API in the Java platform. There is no restriction on the name of a JAR file, it can be any legal file name on a particular platform.<br/><br/>In many cases, JAR files are not just simple archives of java classes files and/or resources. They are used as building blocks for applications and extensions. The META-INF directory, if it exists, is used to store package and extension configuration data, including security, versioning, extension and services. "Ok I dont know about .jar I know that my comp wants to open all extractaqble files with java now and that doesn't work real good. I checked MS website couldn't find much except if your computer came with Vista installed they wont help, DuH!! <br/><br/>I cant believe all the problems that are solved here this would be an easy fix with no solution... <br/><br/>moving to drastic measures looks enevitable, any way to do a system restore like XPWhen you go to the properties of a compressed file and choose the change the file association, you don't see anything like <strong>Compressed (zipped) Folders</strong>?<br/><br/>Can't say how well, this will work, but you could give it a try...<br/>1. Download <a href="http://www.annoyances.org/exec/download/vistazip.reg">vistazip.reg</a>, and save it to your desktop.<br/>2. Double-click the <strong>vistazip.reg</strong> file, and then click <strong>Continue</strong>, <strong>Yes</strong>, and then <strong>OK</strong> when prompted.<br/>3. Restart Windows (the change won't take effect until you do).<br/>(More details found <a href="http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-202">here</a>.)<br/><br/>Also...having yet to use Vista, I don't know much about its System Restore, but you can take a look here...<br/><a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore">http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore</a>Quote</p><blockquote>To access file associations, go Control Panel->Programs->Default Programs->Set Associations.</blockquote><br/>From The MS database...I talked to Toshiba and they advised me to do a system restore, after fixing the problem .zip didn't show up in Control Panel->Programs->Default Programs->Set Associations. thanx for the time everyone...So you trust Toshiba more than the braintrust here....i see how you are.<br/><br/><br/></body></html> | |
