I want to add my editor to the list of choices
when I highlight a filename in explorer and right click on it.

How ?

Thanks

This tip appears to associate with application with a file type.
I need to open any file with my editor, even if it doesn't
have a file type.

Thanks.

Ok know I understand. The easiest way would be to create a shortcut to your
Editor program and place it in the SendTo menu. Then you can right click the
file , that has no extension as you mention, and then select Send To ->your
Editor.
