Mysterious .bat files

I have been using text pad to compile and run small java applications. This morning I discovered that each time I run the java programs using the Tools/Run Java Application menu, mysterious .BAT files are getting created that seem to use the java.exe that comes with JBuilder to run the program.

Even though I have Jbuilder installed on my machine I rarely use it. How did Textpad suddenly decide to create bat files for running the programs and to use the Jbuilder files for doing that?

Thanks

textpad cannot run java class.
it needs to create a .bat file so that window can read the .class and use the JRE to run it.

and it got nothing to do with Jbuilder.
