Well, you can always attempt to add the file type manually.
I got the edit command to work, but I couldnt get the open command to work quite as it should have. Closest I got, was hitting some bug in the cmd.exe that cause it to spawn about 500 instances of itself whenever I ran my .abc files.
Folder Options -> File Types -> new -> type 'bat' -> new action...
Type your action name (open and edit), making sure open is default.
For edit I had:
"C:\Program Files\EditPlus 2\editplus.exe" %1
For open:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K %1
Maybe you can play around with the open thing, (or maybe its just cmd.exe not liking the .abc extension, who knows).
I checked the registry and found nothing on .bat and such, so I imagine its all internal since its basicly dos emulation type stuff.

Ack! I deleted my old bat setup.. ahaha
Found a fix at:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
The associated registry keys are at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\batfile
New problem, notice how BAT isn't listed, but can't be added without removing the old one:
the registry, however, doesn't lie:

I personally like my method, having ever non-folder file display Notepad/Wordpad as options. Copy/paste the following into a .reg file and run it. Folder locations are set to WinXP by default.
Code: Show/Hide Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\notepad] @="&Notepad" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\notepad\command] @="c:\\windows\\notepad.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\wordpad] @="&Wordpad" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\wordpad\command] @="c:\\program files\\windows nt\\accessories\\wordpad.exe \"%1\"" |

I honestly just have 2 shortcuts in the Send-To - one to notepad, the other to wordpad. I also have a shortcut to a MD5 file generator just for the quick and easy.

I made a shortcut key to get to Wordpad, so I can just simply open up the file. Something simple like Shift + Num0 is convenient.

C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\SendTo
Just stick a text program in there that you like, i have a link to notepad in mine. So then you just right click and go to the sendto menu.
