download WinRar or 7zip, you need a program like these to open Minecraft.jar
Winrar Download
when downloaded the program right click Minecraft.jar, select open with, select winrar, and there you go.
I don't see what you are trying to achieve by opening the jar file.
Keep in mind that the new launcher will overwrite any edits made to the default versions; nor are the splashes stored in the version jar anymore.
You're likely looking to create a Resource Pack, which you can edit the Splashes, and other things.
