  • 0

When I click on a .cmd or .bat file it opens the cmd application but doesn’t make the file run. I went to “Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations” and the current default is set to Windows Command Processor (C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe). When I checked in a computer which runs the .bat and .cmd correctly the current default is Unknown application.
Can anybody help here?

    Check the default values for these reg keys, if they aren’t, set them to this:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\open\command - "%1" %*
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\open\command - "%1" %*
    

    Hope this helps!
