I'd have to agree with Dave here. It was clearly a problem with my batch
file association. I don't know *how* I got into this state, but at least
there's a good log now of how to fix the problem for users that have the
same problem!
I suppose you could detect the problem and issue warning by running a
test echo batch file and *not waiting* on the result, then pausing for a
second, and checking to see if the output file was created. Heck or
check the registry to see if there's a UserChoice key on the .bat
extension.
In any case, I'm satisfied that my computer was messed up and it's now
fixed. And I've got my context menu back!
Thanks,
Eric
