# You can't. What happens on (2)? Does it start notepad?

Or you can add that association, without removing the other
one. (You can pick between available associations by
right-clicking. If you just double click, it uses whichever
one is set as default.) Be aware that editing a batch
file in WordPad requires care when saving. (Then again,
I think that's true of Notepad also, because of the
extension. EDIT is really the best text editor that comes
with Windoze OOTB.)
Does this have *anything* to do with cygwin?
