    How do I set default app for filetypes not listed?

    I have an editor (VIM) which I'd like to set as the default app for .bat files. Actually it doesn't have to be THE default app, but preferably I would like it listed as an ap that can be used for that file type.

    Unfortunately, the setting for assigning default apps does not list the .bat file type. Hoe can I do what I want to do?

    Trying to edit a .bat file but can't assign default app what's happening?

    Open .bat files with Notepad in Windows 10

    What you need to do is probably to add the "Edit" action as a new context option to ".bat" file; since if you changed the Default Program" as suggested, you won't be able to run the BAT file when double (or single) clicked.

    You can use the little utility called "Types" (I believe it's a freeware.) to define all sorts of actions to any file types. It works since XP till Win 10.

    BTW, Win10 does not allow a BAT file to be assigned as an "Open With..." executor. "Types" actually came to rescue the situation. Besides the flat and blurry rendering of the dialogs, there are also all kind of annoying short-comings in Win 10. Not sure
