Can't Open/Run my Batch Files. This is what I did. Please help me.?

Question

This is the step by step instructions of what I did.

I created a batch file.

I put it into a zipped folder.

I opened the folder with WinZip

I right clicked on the Batch File

I selected "Open With"

I selected "NotePad"

I closed Winzip

Every Batch file that I have on my computer now opens only with NotePad. I don't know how to go back to default way.

Can anyone tell me how to make my Batch Files run the way that they used too???

I will give 10 points to anyone who can.

thank you to all.

Answer 1

Right-click a Batch File

From the "open with" list, choose the entry that indicates to run the file as an executable.

Check the box that says "always use this program to run this type of file" (It looks like this is what you did when you opened one in Notepad).

Click OK, and the file will run.  Also, from now on all your batch files will run instead of opening up in Notepad.
