Since some time, when I click on BAT file in Windows Explorer (Windows 7) the BAT file is not started. Instead, the BAT file is opened in Notepad. I tried to repair this, by using Right-click to use Open With... . No luck, because this function is forbidden for system files (exe, com, bat ...). Now my question is: how to repair this odd behaviour?

1just a hint: `assoc .bat` should return `.bat=batfile` and `ftype batfile` should return `batfile="%1" %*` – Stephan Dec 02 '13 at 20:00

This might be helpful,but make sure to backup registry before trying.Copy the following into Notepad,rename to .reg and double click to merge.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.bat]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.bat]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\batfile]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.bat]
@="batfile"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\batfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"
Alternatively,download it from here.
