Hi All,

I have an odd problem...I have a user who's Windows XP Pro system (attached
to a domain) won't run .bat files...which, of course, means it's not running
the login script too.

When I try to manually run the login script for this user, the following
error occurs:

"Windows cannot open this file:" and "To open this file, Windows needs to
know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up
automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on your
computer."

Does anyone have any idea how this might have happened, or, more
appropriately, how I can fix it?

Thanks!

-David
 
David,

Apply the .BAT file association fix for that system.
