Can't open any .bat file?

 

Try writing this in notepad, and saving it as a .bat:

 

echo "Test"

pause

Have you tried opening up multiple ones?

Go into notepad and type:

echo TEST

pause

and save it as test.bat [make sure the file type says all files]

Double click it and see if it works.

if i do that it just opens it in notepad anyway for example if i try and open the heaven 4.0 benchmark it just opens up this in not pad:

 

@Echo off

cd %~dp0/bin

start browser_x86.exe -config ../data/launcher/launcher.xml

That's awkward, they don't need admin privlages. I think it could be a file association problem, which is out of my league.
