.jar "open with" problem

Question

so im trying to make a minecraft server but a few years ago i made the .jar file always open with the notepad, how can i reset the jar file to open with nothing?

Answer 1

It's the go to fix for .jar file association issues, 100% clean, and has been used many times on this forum.

What aspect are you suspicious about?

If you'd rather not run it, open notepad, leave the page blank and go to File -> Save as and

Save as type: All Files (*.*) File name: temp.exe

Go to a .jar file, right click and select Open with, on the resulting dialog tick Always use the app to open .jar files

Click More apps -> Look for another app on this PC, then browse to, and select temp.exe

Now delete temp.exe

Your jar file association will be back to nothing.

Answer 2

this seems suspicious
