'Open multiple .bat files with NotePad++ using a .bat file
Currently I use .bat files such as the following to open multiple .yml files across different location:
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 1\settings.yml"
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 2\settings.yml"
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 3\settings.yml"
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 4\settings.yml"
This works correctly for .txt, .yml, .json, files and more. However if I attempt to use the same procedure for opening .bat files, it fails.
Example:
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 1\start1.bat"
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 2\start2.bat"
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 3\start3.bat"
START "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "D:\Location 4\start4.bat"
My goal is to open these .bat files in notepad++ for editing. Instead, windows actually attempts to open the start*.bat files themselve outside of notepad++
