Use Windows explorer to edit the options on that file type.
You can add new context menu items using the

Tools->FolderOptions->FileTypes

dialog tab.

For instance I have several options for a Python sdcript including
Edit  (in IDLE), View (in Scite)
in addition to the usual Open (run it), and Edit with Vim (guess!:-)
that are always there.
