Hi, I don't find the "open with" for .bat files option in the context menu.

In the default apps I didn't find the .bat file change option.

I want the file to open in Anaconda prompt and not in Windows terminal when I double click on it.

Thank you for your help

    Thanks for your reply, but I don't see this option and the UI is not at all the same as you because I'm using Windows 11.

    Here's a pic of my search result:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\cmd.exe]

    "NoOpenWith"=""

    remove "NoOpenWith"

    In that case, see if the tutorial below can add the "Open with" context menu for BAT files.
