Try this registry script:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\.jar]
@="CompressedFolder"

Open them with 7-zip. If you really want to double click, set it as default program for .jar files.

Jar (=Java Archive) are just zipped Java class files, so you can use any Zip-Archiver tool to unzip it, for example 7-zip.

It won't bring you much, however, because class files are the files compiled into bytecode, so this is a binary format you cannot easily look in. You can decompile these files using some of existing Java decompilers, for example this one.
