You associate the file extension with \jedit.bat. This can be done from the File Types tab in the Windows Explorer’s Tools -> Folder options… menu. The EXE-installer for Windows includes a custom context menu handler. It will provide menu items for using jEdit any time you right-click on a file icon in Windows Explorer. This feature does not interfere with any existing file associations.
