To edit a batch file, follow the steps below for where you want to edit the file.

Edit a batch file from within Windows

Batch files are plain-text files, which means they can be edited as a text file by right-clicking the file and clicking Edit as shown in the picture.

Once you've clicked edit, your default text editor opens the file and allows it to be modified.

You can also open any text editor or word processor and from within that program open the batch file.

After making all changes save and exit the file.

If you are asked how to save the file, make sure it is saved with a .batfile extension.
