This is my my own fault... I wanted to change the default action to "edit" instead of "run" when i click on a .bat file. Not being very careful with what i did, i hosed my .bat file functionality. When i click on a .bat file, i get a CMD prompt that shows the path of the file and that's it (not even the file name). If i R-click a .bat and click "edit", i get "access is denied". i can still edit using notepad or run it from a CMD prompt, but not by clicking on it.

i thought i restored all the ".bat" and "batfile" reg entries (from another box), but i obviously missed something. Any ideas?

EDIT: never mind, i fixed it. been trying to fix this on and off for a week and 30 seconds after i made this post i found the problem :)
