WinXP Pro doesn't detect batch files as executables

[Yaniv]

Hi,

Double click on a batch file and nothing happens...
running it through DOS/4NT - no problem.

could it be a problem with extension definitions?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Yaniv

FWIW - I run .bat files everyday on xp by just clicking them.

small download there that will restore the default associations for BAT
files.
