You can add a different action associated with a filetype and
displayed in the right-click context menu by adding a new action for
the selected filetype (log file) from the File Types tab. 
You can then export/extract this action from the registry HKCR tree
under the file type description to allow others to import it, e.g. 

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GzipFile]
@="Gzip File"
"EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00
"AlwaysShowExt"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GzipFile\shell]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GzipFile\shell\open]
@=""
"EditFlags"=hex:01,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GzipFile\shell\open\command]
@="gunzip.exe -l \"%L\" %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GzipFile\shell\unzip]
"EditFlags"=hex:01,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GzipFile\shell\unzip\command]
@="gunzip.exe \"%L\" %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\GzipFile\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\SHELL32.DLL,19"
