Yep, batch files are probably still broken - they're not simply associated
with cmd.exe.  Try TweakUI 2000 (an unsupported download somewhere
on the Microsoft site - you'll have to search for it).  This has an option
to
repair your file associations back to the MS defaults. Or possibly try
setting
the open command for batch files to "%1" (WITH the quotes).

Kind regards,

Jon Foster
