Well, except that on your system it said java-1.5.0-something. Whatever,
just remove the w and it will work

I forgot to mention that you can also do it by simply right-clicking on
the icon on your desktop and change it right there

Actually, you might just remove the whole full path thing, and just say
"java -Xmx512m -Xms32m -jar run.jar", plain and simple. That saves your
having to edit it every time java gets updated
