can't run .js script

[Kurt Krueckeberg]

I need to run a .js script. But when I try to run it, from Windows
Explorer, a Notepad edit session starts instead. How do I get it to run? .js
scripts used to work, but somehow the program association has been broken,
and I don't know how to get it back.

thanks,
Kurt

How is a JVM going to help with running JavaScript?

A Javascript (.js) and Java virtual machines are completely unrelated

Try a right click and take Open. What has probably happened is that the
default on double click has been changed to Edit - a common setting as
it makes things considerably safer; scripts being very powerful tools.

If that does the trick, you can restore Run (Open) as the default,
though I would *not* advise it. Go to Folder Options - File Types,
highlight JS (which will have 'Opens with NotePad) and click Advanced.
There highlight Open and click Default to set that as default
