Edit_Run is a simple Windows utility that provides an option of editing or running a DOS batch file when it is selected by double clicking in Windows File Manager. To use Edit_Run, simply copy Edit_Run.Exe into your Windows subdirectory or any subdirectory in the DOS Path variable. Make the following changes to Win.ini. Then exit and re-enter Windows for the changes to take effect.. 1) Change the "programs= com exe bat pif" line to remove "bat" 2) Add the following line to the [Extensions] section bat=Edit_Run.exe ^.bat 3) If you prefer your own editor to Window's Notepad, you can optionally add the following two lines at the end of Win.ini. [Edit_Run] Edit=MyEditor Replace the word MyEditor, with the command line for the editor of your choice. I have included Ed_it!.Com, which you can use if you like. You could also use DOS' Edit.Exe. The Next time you double click on a .bat file in file manager, you will get a dialog box asking if you want to edit or run the file. You can also cancel the request.
