Batch file association

[Ambrose, Joseph]

Hello!

Somehow i clobbered the batch file association on my W2Kpro box.

THe icon has changed, i cannot run the batch files anymore.

Can someone show me how to undo this.

I used the file type option under the folder options in explorer.

From a command prompt;
assoc .bat
should return with
..bat=batfile
If not
assoc .bat=batfile
to restore the default file type association.

ftype batfile
should return with
batfile="%1" %*
If not
ftype batfile="%1" %*
to restore the default "Open" action for the file type.

Dave,

Both are what they should be, but i still can't run a batch file.

Might check the PATHEXT system variable to confirm it includes ".BAT".
C:\TEMP>set pathext
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD; <additional ommitted here>
