Beginning with version 5 of Internet Explorer, this can be done with Windows 
Registry entries instead of copying files.  You would need only a stable 
location for jedit.exe (that is, one you don't change every time you install 
a new version of jEdit).  I'll post a registry script file to jEdit 
Community tonight or tomorrow.
