This app employs batch (.bat) files to launch various tweaks. Somehow I've screwed up and have associated bat files with notepad so instead of running apps I get to read the bat files.
Problem: I don't know what program to assign in lieu of Notepad and if memory serves, Windows doesn't make it an easy task either. Anybody know? :confused:

My Windows Repair program has a repair bat associations option in it :-)
You didnt tell me what version of windows you are on or I could have posted a reg file for you, otherwise just use my Windows repair, when you get tot he repair screen uncheck every repair, then under the "Repair File Associations" which is number 23 you will see the bat one which is number 23.01
Choose it and hit start repairs, you will need to reboot after :wink:

Thanx for the response.
I tried the Windows Repair utility as you instructed to no avail. Ran it as myself and elevated it through my shortcut properties and ran it as administrator with the same results. Control Panel's Set Associations had extension bat default program as notepad before and after. Tried running a couple of bat files with the same results. Windows still launches the bats as notepad read files. Your program seemed to work without errors, here's the log file:

...YOU MUST RESTART YOUR SYSTEM...
-----End Windows Repair Log.txt -----
and yes I restarted the system :)
BTW, I'm using Win 8.1.
I'm impressed with your program. Love the way it reminds you of the preliminaries like registry backup, chkdsk and SFC. Those are the types of things I sometimes forget to do when looking for problems. Well done.
Anyway, know not what else to say. Still stuck in la-la land.

Then you need to select all repairs because it seems some program has messed up the permissions of the registry. And that can be fixed with running all repairs.

You can also check to see if the registry got changed or not.
IN the folder of the program go to the subfolder files\regfiles\file_associations\ and then your version of windows. There you will see bat.reg You can right clcik on it and hit edit to see what it tries to set.
The one you want to look at in the registry is
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\open\command
which should be \"%1\" %*
