I do this and it doesn't work.
By gvim, I assume you mean gvim.exe.
When I do this, after I select gvim.exe and that dialog closes, the
Open with dialog still shows Notepad selected. I can't get gvim to

Go to Windows explorer (my computer), tools -- Folder Options, and
select the File Types tab. Select the extestion or file type, click
the Change button, and select or specify the application.

1) I click Change It says notepad is the default.
2) I click browse, and pick gvim.exe, and click Open.
3)
I have had inexplicable and inconsistent trouble with Windoz doing this
at least since back in version 98. It's infuriating.

Doesn't matter whether that box is ticked or not. I can't open with

By gvim what is meant under Windows is the entry labeled VI Improved - A
Text Editor.

No. That's my problem. How does gvim tell Windows to make itself an
