Not exactly true. There's just no good tool for it anymore shipped
with Windows. You can do this by editing registry or use a tool
similar to what I suggested in my earlier post
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/msg00171.html>.
For instance, you can edit the default action "Open" which opens .txt
files with cygwin nano using mintty as terminal, on double click. More
conservative approach would be to add new non-default action "Open in
nano" and do the same by picking that from the right-click menu in
explorer.
