# Editor applications for various file extensions on various desktops.
# A DEFAULT section can be given providing cross-platform defaults.
# The recognised desktop names are gnome, kde, windows and osx.
# Within each section, the key is a comma separated list of file
# extensions and the value is the name of the application to edit
# the file with. For example:
#
# [DEFAULT]
# doc, xls, ppt = ooffice
#
# [windows]
# vsd, vss, vst, vdx, vsx, vtx = visio

So, in your case the settings should be
uxf = "C:\Users\ Ray.Hendrey\ bin\test_ cmd_parms. bat"
And Explorer will run "editor" for "uxf" as
"C:\Users\ Ray.Hendrey\ bin\test_ cmd_parms. bat" /path/to/ selected/ file
