Cannot set Notepad to open files with .java extension

[ank20]

I am a Studdent learning java. I have installed jdk version 11.0.1on my notebook. I just Simply cannot set Notepad as a default program to open my .java files(not .jar or .jre). I have tried to set notepad as a default via setting and also via right clicking on the files. It just doesn't set notepad as the deafult program. I havealso tried Notepad++or wordpad to set as default. But It doesn't set as default. This problem exist only with .java files.

.java are Java shell executable files if yuo make them to open by default from Notepad Java will not work.

Right click the some.java file and choose Edit - it will open with Notepad for editing which is what you need. It works and Notepad is deafilt editor for .java files.

You can change default editor program, say to Notepad++, associated with "Edit" for Java shell exec batch files by:

    Run RegEdit.
    Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\edit\command.
    Modify the Default and change Value Data from %SystemRoot%\System32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1 to
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %1
    Close RegEdit.
    Right-click -> "Edit" should now open batch files in NotePad++.
