Greetings --

    It could be something as simple as damaged file associations.
What happens if you right-click on the batch file in question and
select Open with...., and then choose NotePad from the resulting list?
Similarly, what happens if you first open NotePad and then use
NotePad's File > Open menu to try to open the batch file?
