Hi,

When you save a bat file you have to change the extension to All Files
After your File Name type .bat (Test.bat)
Also make sure under Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Associations
Under Bat file it does say Windows Batch File

Hope this helps,
Captain

thanx for quick response..but..i still dont get it..under set association and at .bat file..it does say "windows batch file" under description section.But,under current default section,still notepad.And when i clicked change program.The recommended one is only notepad.So??

i'm sorry..im not sure bout that...i realised it yesterday when i tried to open .bat file that i've created..by default,what exactly .bat files will open with?

thanx mate..i'll try:)

now it works!!it opens with cmd.exe right?
+rep for u..thanx

I've got a related problem. I can't get a batch file to run. I've manually associated it with the cmd processor which opens the cmd line but doesn't run the batch file. The reg file above won't run: it says some keys are open by the system or other processes.
