Add item to right-click menu Windows 7 for .jar files - jar

I'm trying to add a right-click menu item (to run a Powershell script) when I click on .jar files but I can't seem to get it to show up. I have tried two different registry locations and neither have shown my right-click command. Any help on what I'm doing wrong? Below are the two ways I've tried it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.jar\shell\ABC]
#="&ABC"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.jar\shell\ABC\command]
#="<path_to_my_powershell_script> %1"
and
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\jarfile\shell\ABC]
#="&ABC"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\jarfile\shell\ABC\command]
#="<path_to_my_powershell_script> %1"
Again, the issue is not with the script itself (at least not yet), it's with actually getting the command to show up on the right-click menu.
Thanks.

JetBrains Toolbox in Windows to install IDEs to specific folders other than ones within drive C

I want to install PyCharm, PhpStorm, etc. into some folder on drive D.
Though JetBrains Toolbox not having the option to do so in my view.
So the question is that is it possible to customize the installation folder for JetBrains IDEs when installing via Toolbox?
Yes, you can configure the install location for apps in the Toolbox settings. However, this will install ALL apps under the specified directory (and move existing ones there). If you want to define a specific install location for each IDE, then that is not possible... yet.
Also see this support question. The second answer explains how you can manually update the install_location property in .settings.json. This will change the install location for future installations, and your existing apps will not be moved.
[Windows 10] I found a manual location changing option that is not well explained on any forum.
After you install Jetbrains Toolbox, if you cannot change the Tool install location from the app UI, and it goes into "Failing to change location, because application is in use, or something like that" if you are trying to change from there, close the Toolbox application(kill it from Task manager, or close it from the toolbar), and after you go to the default installation location of the Toolbox app(more info about this, here: https://toolbox-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000978804-Where-are-the-IDEs-located-on-my-hard-drive-) and open .settings.json file
In the .settings.json file you need to add/update the following code line:
"install_location": "<default_location>",
There, add your desired install location instead of <default_location> if there exists the line in the file. If this line does not exist, add it the begining of the file. Don't forget to add the " , " in the end of the line.
Please help to spread this message to our fellow friends who are using Jetbrains Toolbox and are having this problem.
The location of the setting in the UI seems to change with subsequent Toolbox versions.
Currently it's under Toolbox > cogwheel icon > Toolbox App Setting > Tools > Tools install location.
Toolbox operates under current user permissions, not as administrator and it cannot ask for privileged access yet. In partical term it means if you wan't to install it under "C:\Program Files" you will have create "JetBrains", or whatever root directory you want, manually there, in your preferred file manager, then apply permission settings allowing you current user to write to that directory.
Looks like they invested some time in this. No need to play around with config files anymore:
Open your toolbox application
Open settings.
Open tab "Tools"
Change "tools install location"
Hit "apply changes"
Wait until files are moved

Iexpress.exe Unable to open report file even when ran as administrator

I'm creating a Iexpress package, and no matter what on the final step it pops up the message "Unable to open report file" and stops. I am searching Iexpress.exe and right clicking, then choosing "Run As Administrator" to start it. The problem persists.
I had this error running as my account (domain admin) not specifically telling it to run as administrator, removed spaces then re-ran working fine under Windows 10 1809 you shouldn't need to change to a different application to create .EXE files using IEXPRESS this is working fine under Window 10.
The way to fix this problem:
Go to the folder where your files you want to be in the package are
Go to the top bar (Where it says where you are on your drive), and type iexpress
Do the creation as normal, but the names you give the installer shouldn't have any spaces.
I did it this way without admin permissions.
I ended up moving on to Inno Setup Compiler. Turns out Iexpress isn't supported anymore. I recommend Inno to anyone making their own programs.
This happens when SourceFilesX or TargetName paths in the directive (i.e. the files you've added from the wizard) contain spaces. And while the issue with the TargetName can be fixed with adding double quotes the only workaround I've found about the source files is to put them in a folder path that not contains spaces.

Atom: add default project folder on start with no tabs

I have one single project folder that I work on every time. I would like that when I start Atom that the project folder is shown and no tabs are open.
I am using Ubutnu 14.04 LTS and Atom 1.5.3.
At the moment, every time I close and reopen Atom, the last session is shown. This is good, because my project folder is always loaded correctly. Unfortunately, all tabs are also open from my previous session.
I have checked under Core Settings -> Open Emty Editor On Start (Automatically open an empty editor on startup). But still, the editor is not empty on startup. Am I missing anything? How can I get this problem solved?

editing a windows command file with Aptana

On windows XP, running Apatana Studio 3.
How do I open a windows command (i.e. *.bat) file for editing rather than executing ?
From the ProjectExplorer pane, you can right click a .cmd or .bat file and select [Open With > TextEditor].
Aptana "remembers" this setting, so double clicking this file in the ProjectExplorer pane will continue to open the file for editing.
To go back to execute mode, right-click again but select [Open With > Default Editor]. That's a horrible choice of labelling - i.e. Aptana's Default Editor for .cmd,.bat files actually runs them - it doesn't edit them.
If anyone reading knows a better way, pls comment.

Error with TFS while trying to connect with workspace

Hello I am trying to bind my work space and I have been doing that with edit work space option and when I bind it for the first time, it had been giving message that if I want to download all the files from the server but I do not see that option from my home computer.
How can I download the latest files from the server, once I have bound my workspace with the server?
Open up the Source Control Explorer (from Team Explorer). Select your workspace from the workspace drop-down in the toolbar. Right click the project in Source Control Explorer and choose Get Latest Version, or Get Specific Version.
