HELP!! I changed my BAT file association and can't get it back
Ok, I did something silly.
This is windows 7
I went to
Control panel->Default programs->Associate a file type with a program
and changed the association to file .BAT to explore.exe (do not ask me, long story).
Now, when I click on a bat file with the mouse, the whole desktop starts shaking. I think it goes into a loop.
The problem, when I go back to
Control panel->Default programs->Associate a file type with a program
The extension .BAT is no longer there! It is gone.
And when I examine the file property of some .bat file, there is no option to change what to open it with. There is no open with... only OPEN option.
There is also no way to add a new file extension in Control panel->Default programs->Associate a file type. I can't add .bat again.
I did
Control panel->Default programs->Set progream access and computer defaults
but still the .bat file association is broken, and when I double click on it, same thing happens.
Strange thing, is that initially, the program associated with .BAT was unknown.
What do I do to get things to the way it was?
Now when I right click on a .BAT file from exploer, I also do not see the EDIT option any more.
