I remember there was a thread about this not too long ago.. I didn't
read it though so I don't remember the solution. I think it also depends
on whether you just want to open a single file, edit and close or if you
want to open a .bat file within single session and have it without
highlight while other files are with highlight. If you don't need stuff
like filetype indentation you can also change that autocommand to do
:set ft=

(i.e. set filetype to nothing). Then there will be no colours but other
files will still have them.
