File association for .BAT and .CMD

[xmha97]

Hello,
Please add below feature:

• File association for .BAT and .CMD

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cmdfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\Muhammad\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\wt.exe\" new-tab -p \"Command Prompt\" \"%1\" %*"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\Muhammad\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\wt.exe\" new-tab -p \"Command Prompt\" \"%1\" %*"

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion! I think the way we plan on solving this is by letting the user broadly set another application as the default terminal app, instead of the vintage console host. That way, double-clicking on a .bat or .cmd file would automatically open cmd inside whatever the default terminal application is.

That work is being tracked over in /dup #492
