.bat Default Program

I had to edit a .bat file so I changed the default program to run .bat files
to wordpad. Under the file association, the previous default program was
listed as "Unknown Application" so I don't know what to change my file
assocation back to in order to run the .bat file.

Can someone tell me what the default application should be to run .bat files
OR tell me how to remove the file association altogether so that Windows can
choose the default program for me.

Select the 'bat' one from the box.
