hello, i have a batch file that is opening with notepad for some reason. this has happened before and i dont remember the fix. i dont see bat listed in the file extensions list under Tools -> Options in explorer.

the file maps a network drive that i cant manually map using netscreen remote from offsite. i have to use a net use command to map it but i want to get this batch file working...

if i can change it so it doesnt open in notepad, that is my goal

thanks!

Hi hulud!

Go to MY COMPUTER and then go to TOOL-->FOLDER OPTIONS. In the new window that appears, click on the FILE TYPES tab and then go through the list until you find the extension BAT and delete it if it is listed. Click APPLY and OK and then OK in the Folder Options window. Then try running the bat file again.

Go to START-->RUN and type regedit and click OK. In Registry Editor window that appears, look in the left pane and navigate to the following keys and tell me what is listed on the right pane.

• HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-725345543-651377827-2147112213-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.bat
