   I think the answer is no -- though Paul may correct me, and I'll be   
   glad to learn something new.   
      
   Normally in HKCR in the Registry, you would find .bat, see what its   
   file type is, find that file type, and make our changes.   
      
   But .bat's "file type" is "PersistentHandler", and that's shared with   
   quite a few three-letter extensions. However, I couldn't find a   
   "PersistentHandler" subkey under HKCR. So those right-click menu   
   items may be hard-coded in Windows, or at least coded in a way that   
   we're not able to change.
