menuinst sets shortcut as default application for .cmd and .bat files on Windows 11

What happened?

Windows .cmd and .bat files cannot be executed by double-clicking them anymore, because Spyder 6 wrongly claims the association with these 2 types of files.

See spyder-ide/spyder#22389

@jaimergp, this issue was originally posted by @JulioCantarero and confirmed by @jitseniesen.

When setting file type association, it seems that on Windows 11 the registry is set to make Spyder the default application as well, instead of just an allowed/recommended application.

We are using menuinst = 2.1.2 and do not see this issue on Windows 10. Below is our json file.
