Java .jar "Open With" Windows Explorer continually spawns Explorer processes

Wondering if anyone can tell me why trying to open a .jar fil开发者_高级运维e with Win7 Explorer ("Open With" C:\Windows\explorer.exe) would cause the computer to continually create (over 200+ in a couple seconds) explorer processes?

Thanks!

Maybe do you want to view the contents of the jar? Take a look to this page. Or try with what is written on this page if you want to execute the jar without the command shell.

EDIT:

The problem of windows explorer is described in this page and in this too.

I'm wondering why you are trying to open a jar file using Windows Explorer...change the properties...set it to run with java.exe....everything should be fine...and coming to the 200+ question...unless it is a virus or something, it should not behave in such a way...strange to see that happen....try opening other jars in a similar way...you'll get to know the problem and the eventual solution...

Had the same problem with opening JAR files.

This works(thanks MVied):

• Run Registry Editor
• Browse to \HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-(random numbers with dashes)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts(whatever file extension is broken, i.e. '.jpg')\
• Delete the folder called 'UserChoice'
