I'd suggest you use http://defaultprogramseditor.com/ to either change existing "Open" action for .txt files or to create a new one. Start the app and go to the context menu settings for .txt files. For the "Program path", use something similar to C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe" --exec C:\cygwin64\bin\vim "%1"
Pro tip: if you intend to use network shares by IP address, e.g. "\\192.168.0.2\share\mytxtfile.txt", set the environment variable CYGWIN to include "noglob". Otherwise Cygwin's file name globbing breaks your path argument. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
