Change Windows 7 explorer "Edit" context menu action for jpg and other image file types
I found this little program while surfing the web: Default Programs Editor. I think it is able to do what you want.
The registry key you want is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Paint.Picture\shell\edit\command
for .bmp files,HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command
for .jpg files.
Change it to "C:\Path\to\your\image\program.exe" "%1"
including the " "
and it should work.
Hey just thought i would chuck this in since this page proved useful. i have been trying to change the EDIT function to point to Notepad ++ rather than Notepad for .txt files for a while now. Its under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell\edit\command
registry key, just point it to your desired text editor.
kudos to CGA
