I got the same damned thing here at work, where everything's locked up tight and I can't touch it. "Policy", and all that... :P My own workaround for 'vim' and other critters is to just grab the usual desktop shortcuts, set the properties to what I prefer, and dump 'em into the "Send to" directory. Will be one level down from the "Edit with Vim" thingy, but at least it's a workaround. Same thing for using Firefox 1.5/2.0, Opera, Netscape 4.8, 6.x, and up, etc., instead of Exploder, so that I can pick which version for testing webpages in different browsers, and so on. If you can't override the defaults, dump 'em there and edit the prefs to your heart's content.
