What is a JSE file?
Files with the .JSE extension contain encrypted source code for scripts written in the JScript programming language, which can be defined as a variation of the JavaScript language, converted by Microsoft for the purposes of the Windows operating system and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The content of the programs cannot be viewed due to the encryption.
By default, JSE scripts are launched in Windows using the Windows Script Host application. They are used to support interactive content on websites and web apps.

How to open JSE files
If you cannot open the JSE file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports JSE among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the JSE file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the JSE format files
The inability to open and operate the JSE file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the JScript Encoded Script Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a JSE file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the JSE file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the JSE from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the JSE format
- The JSE file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the JSE file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a JSE file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the JSE file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the JSE file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the JSE file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.JSE) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected JSE file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the JSE file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. JSE) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
