I've not done much with the registry before but below are some of the
related keys. There are some 6.2 keys left in there (numbers 4, 8, 12 plus
some others I didn't list).
Do you think it would be safe just to change all instances in the registry
of 'vim62' with 'vim70' as a try-it-and-see solution?
1. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList\gvim.exe\(value not set)
2. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\gvim\a hex string
3.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\gvim.exe\shell\edit\command\"......\vim\vim70\gvim.exe
