Instead of using drag-and-drop from Windows Explorer, consider right-clicking and checking out your context menu. There's usually a command called "Open With..." that allows you to select a program for it (internally, it mostly just executes a shell command of appname /path/to/file ). Depending on the file and your access level, you may also be able to register the desired application as the default handler for that filetype so you can simply double-click the file in the future.

I find it easier to navigate in Explorer than in file open dialogs. In the Gimp file open dialog, there is not text input, so I cannot paste a file name. Why is this so? Yes, there is drag'n'drop, but often I prefer text input. And you have to drop files onto the tool bar, dropping on the image preview bar on the top does not work, which I'd find more intuitive.
