A nice Windows trick...

This is one I do on my PCs to make it easy to view any file in Notepad.

Find the registry item:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*

Add a new sub-item for that:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Notepad\command

For the (default) value in the command key, you just want it to be:
notepad.exe %1

Now, every item shown in the Windows Explorer will nave "Notepad" in the right-click menu.
