Server 2003 not recognizing bat files

[jgindy27]

We installed server 2003 on an IBM x330. Yesterday, it recognized .bat files. (I know, I know, bat files!!) Today, it isn't recognizing .bat file types.
Any thoughts?

TRy dumping this into a *.reg file and running

it rebuilds teh batch file association, can in handy when a dodgy file removed a load of associations
