Batch File No Longer Recognized as Runnable

Suddenly a PC doesn't consider a file with a .bat extension as runnable. The
file's icon is the same as a .bak or .txt (not a rectangle with a blue bar
like an .exe or .com). If you double-click it, nothing happens. If you
right-click it, "open" is not an option. However, if you open up a DOS
command prompt and run it, it runs.
