Thank you CEHJ. &nbsp;Very nice to be able to see what the associatins are. &nbsp;I will accept that as the solution.<br />
<br />
MORE INFO ON jnlp:<br />
<br />
After some digging, I found that the proper association for jnlp is javaws.exe, found on my machine in C:\Program Files\Java\&lt;java release&gt;\bin.<br />
<br />
Setting an association on Vista is a bit more of a pain than on XP, but if you have a Foo.jnlp and you open it, there is an option to browse for the progam to open it.<br />

Somehow the assiciation in my Vista registry for .jnlp files got broken. &nbsp;When I try to open a .jnlp I get a message that Windows does not recognize this file type. &nbsp;I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Java runtime and the Sun checker says I have a good up to date installation.<br />

Any suggestions?<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
