   If you explain the underlying problem in more details, maybe some posters   
   here can suggest alternatives. One way is adding Edit button in a toolbar so   
   it can be easily opened with the program of your choice. Another, is to make   
   a copy of the file into another folder, then start Windows Explorer with   
   that folder shown by default. Search MSKB for "explorer command line   
   options".   
      
   But the best option seems to be making a new extension, and perhaps add a   
   block of binary data at the beginning of the file to discourage editing.
