You mean the "Registered File Types" listing.
At this point, I don't know how (if you can) show some of the more security
sensitive file extensions there.

I found a 'batfile' key, saved its "EditFlags" (were 0x00000430) and
set them to 0x00000000. Rebooted.

ZILCH!

..BAT still doesn't show up...

Puzzled... (and pissed off)

I assume you would have to change the EditFlags for each file type in
the Registry to allow them to show.

Maybe you mean to show exrensions of known file types. Its in Tools > Folder
options > View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions of known file types". If this is
checked .bat, .exe, etc won't show in explorer.

The solution is patently obvious, NOT!

Select 'New', enter the required non-showing extension, e.g. BAT and
click on 'Advanced' and then 'OK', et voila, it appears!
