Large Files under Win7

Hi, I've looked a while, but not finding out how to edit large files under windows 7. This one might be tricky, but I also do not have admin rights on the machine (corporate environment).
I think the issue is is how can I pass parms to the java machine, when in windows there's a executable (jedit.exe) that must do the work of calling java. I tried the "-mx256m" parm to jedit.exe, but it doesn't seem to be accepted.
I've also tried to run the start up parm by borrowing my sys admin's id and pswd and editing the entry in the registry for startups to the following key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
key: "jEdit Server" value: "C:\Program Files x(86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -xms64, -xmx256m -jar "c:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -background -nogui --i4j- dont-wait
(oh and yes, using the admin id, I updated "ij4.ini" in the jedit subdirectory to have the value "-mx264m". Nothing seems to work on editing a 300 meg file in Win7).
Thanks.
