Prove it works in the command prompt by using the full path to python
for example,
C:\Python311\python C:\Users\gregg>esptool.py version
If that works, look at your path environment variables and see where
python is sitting. Substitute the real location of Python 3.11 on your
machine. Sadly, I think it defaults to C:\Program Files nowadays.
Once you can get Python working by omitting the path, for example,
C:\Users\gregg>python esptool.py version
... you can then right-click the .py file and choose whichever program
you like to open with.
I'm inclined to advise you to focus on getting virtual environments
working next and leave all that auto-opening to later. You might find
you prefer to right click and select every time.
