Add "%L" instead of (default) "%1" after the application executable
under Explorer/.../Folder Options/File Types/choose file
type/Edit/{New,Edit}/Application. 
You should always create at least an open action, but if you also
create other actions, you can make any one of them the default for
that file type.
