When I am in Windows Explorer and right-click on a .Bat file and choose Edit, I get a message "Windows cannot find C:\blahblah.bat". It tells me it cannot find the batch file I just tried to edit. I can go to a DOS prompt and edit it there without a hitch. When I go into File Types/Associatations, I do not see an entry in there for .Bat files. It lets me add the entry to the list, but when I close the Associations window, it disappears. Any ideas on how to bring back this functionality? It is just .BAT files not .Txt or .Log etc. Those work fine.

Thanks
