(8/34) 11 - Not opening files from explorer

Logged In: YES
user_id=736883

If I look in jelaunch.log:

C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin\javaw.exe -mx32m -
jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit 4.1\jedit.jar"

I.e. the launcher never passes the name of the text file to
javaw.

I've built myself a workaround using a batch file:

"C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin\javaw.exe" -mx32m -
jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit 4.1\jedit.jar" "%1"

This works, it opens files from the explorer. But I don't know
how to make the "Open with Jedit" buttons call this, if indeed
it is possible. (I have to use Open With -> jedit instead, not a
problem really).

Also, it leaves a console window open until JEdit exits, which
is ugly. Possibly there is a way to close the console window
while keeping JEdit running.

When I try it as my normal account. It doesn't work either.
However, I can open files this way when I am running things
as the Administrator. Something in the jLauncher is using
something it shouldn't. Perhaps that is the reason the
server file is not opened.... hmm...

So I noticed as well that there is no server file name in
the log. But when I run it as Administrator low and behold
it works and there is a server file name in the log:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.jedit\server ...
So something about not being Administrator is keeping the
file name from being loaded properly.

The log is written to by a member of the ServerConnection
class. The value of the 'server file' is only written to
when it is constructed and is passed in from a
RegistryParser in the GetServerFilePath() method. That
value is determined in this class and this is where we
should look.

In the RegistryParser the 'server file' is determined the
registry. And everything is done in the constructor here.
After that its only a container class of strings.

If LoadString failed, then RegOpenKeyEx would succeed but do
the wrong thing and then InitCmdLine and InitWorkingDir will
fail with out any logging until it logs that it can't open
server file. I can put a few logging lines in to find the
problem. What compiler can I download for this?

The launcher appears to have workspace and project files for
Visual C++ 6. I only have VC 7 here, which won't open them
(7 offers to convert them to the new format, but fails with an
error along the lines of 'project file is corrupt').

I have VC 7.1 at home, will try that when I get a chance.

This may be the same problem as "\[ 632346 \] problem with
windows install"
Have you moved your desktop location?

I'm haven't used Jedit for a while now, indeed I don't
really use Windows much right now, but I tried this on a
colleague's machine and his desktop _is_ in the place that
Jedit is looking for it. There is, however, no .jedit
directory there.
