Execute jar by double click

Hi,

I've got the following problem, to which I did not find an answer so
far:
I want to execute a jar file via double-clicking it in the explorer.

My first attempt, declaring "javaw" als program to open jar files did
not work out, Vista tries to execute
Code:
javaw xyz.jar
which is wrong. It should execute
Code:
javaw -jar xyz.jar
In XP it was possible to declare this in the "open" section of the file
handling options. In Vista I did not find the right place yet.

Does anyone have the answer or a link to the answer?

Thanks, etg.
