One of the IT guys did an install on a Windows XP computer, but the install messed up. So I got called to fix the issue. Problem is that any batch flies (extension BAT) don't run. All I get is a dialog box with the Opens With.. and gives a list of programs. Any idea how I can get the batch files running again?

Joe, you are brilliant!! Worked. Seems the .BAT extention was set for a different program that is no longer installed on the computer. So I guess that's why it brought up the Open With dialog box.
I'll buy you a beer in VB at your favorite drinking establishment in a couple of weeks.

Hehehe - I broke this before as well, doing stuff I should not have been doing!
Best advice, rebuild. If its a hurry try this.
From a command prompt type the following;
assoc .bat
This should give the following output
.bat=batfile
If not in the command window to restore the default file type association type
assoc .bat=batfile
