In Windows XP making a shorcut to java jar file

I have got a jar file. I want to make a shortcut for it so that the jar is executed by the command:

"java -jar <jarfile>"

on clicking the shortcut. I tried creating the new shortcut in explorer and typing the above command, it didn't work.

Create a batch file like:
java -jar filename.jar %*

This would leave a command line window active while the application is running in another window.

the right syntax is:

"c:\<path of java.exe>\java.exe" -jar <entire path of jarfile>

and in the start in box, put the entire path of the jar file within quotes, without the filename.
