2) To establish that here, right click on a file, go to properties, and under the General tab in the Open with section, select the program you want to use.  It'll open similar files using that program from now on.

Problem is, none of the programs I'm interested in are even listed in the Open with section.

1) It isn't done automatically in Windows.  You have to establish file associations there, too.  In some cases, a newly installed program will assume file associations for you, even if you didn't want it that way.

2) To establish that here, right click on a file, go to properties, and under the General tab in the Open with section, select the program you want to use.  It'll open similar files using that program from now on.

They should open by default. Have you made the .jars executable first?

I use a number of .jar programs for development - drjava, mars, logisim - and I would like those programs to be launched when I open source files. For example, .asm files are currently opened in Text editor instead of mars, so I have to launch .asm from within mars. So, how do I change the defaults? Also, why isn't this taken care of automatically, like in Windows?
