- Settings for .bat files?
- Posted by Michael Moser on December 5th, 2007
When I right-click on .bat files (i.e. batch or cmd files) I see two
options "Open" and "Edit".
"Open" rus (i.e. executes) the file, which is what I expect (even though
IMHO the name is a bit unclear, too).
But if I select "Edit" it also executes the file, which is definitely
NOT what I would expect!
How/where can I change this? ".bat" doesn't show up in the Tools =>
Folder Options => File types list.

Thanks - that helped! .bat files still don't show up in the file types
list but at last "edit" now does indeed *mean* "edit".
