Hi Stanton,

You can add the "Edit" entry via Folder Options File Types tab. Or, simply download and apply the .txt and .bat assocation fix from Doug Knox's site: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm. If that does not help for .txt file, open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\edit\command

(If "edit" is unavailable, you need to create it)

In the right-pane, set the value for (default) to:

C:\Windows\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
