You can download X-Setup from http://www.xteq.com/ (it's free)
and install it.
There's an option under "Appearance | Explorer | Context Menu | Files
Commands" that will let you add programs to the context menu of any file.
Just add the file name and description (i.e. vim.exe %1, if VIM is in your
PATH ) and X-Setup will add the registry key for you. X-Setup also has loads
of other tweaks for Windows, I highly recommend it. And no, I'm not
associated with xteq in any way.... :)
