Even though you RM cant you use the Windows File Manager? you can block it there

You can set .JAR files to be processed by the Software Restriction Policy through Group Policy.

 

The list of file extensions can be found under:

Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Software Restriction Policies

Edit the entry "Designated File Types" and add the "JAR" extension there.

 

If you really have to use RMMC, there's a "custom" section under the "All Computers" security policy.

That will allow you to import a registry script.

I though .jar files are used by java script? might be worth checking if the pc has other .jar files first.

JavaScript = .js

Java = .jar
