associate a file type or protocol with a program

While fiddling with the Default Programs, I changed the default program for executing batch files (*.BAT) to be NOTEPAD.EXE. Stupid, I know, I was just playing with it. The problem is I cannot figure out how to restore the default. Currently, if I click on a batch file, it opens in the Notepad, instead of executing :crazy: So, I have to go to a CMD prompt, in order to execute batch files... Any ideas?

 

can't you go back to the default programs screen and change it back to ms-dos?

 

MS-DOS is a SYS file, not executable.

CMD.EXE is the DOS command processor and I did change it to use CMD.EXE to open the batch file, but it does nothing-it just opens a DOS window

Prior to changing it, it was showing UNKNOWN APPLICAITON as current default...
