Changed .bat file associations and can't remove them

by 2ondrd Mar 25, 2010 6:23AM PDT

I shot myself in the foot. I changed the file association for .bat files to my text editor and now every time a batch file is called it opens my editor instead of executing it. It was set to nothing. I can't seem to remove the association. Help!
