not very much GIMP related, but... need help, dear Devs!

When I used for a very short while 2.7 and 2.8 rc1 versions of GIMP on my Win7 64 system, I'd noticed a /Edit with GIMP/ line in the file context menu (note for dummies like myself - that is when you right-click on an image file). I don't remember which version it was. I've come to love it since GIMP is my main/fav image editing program and I didn't have to drop down to /Open with/ dialog window. Now, on my current 2.8 version I don't have it. I've tried to tweak it with Context Menu Editor and some other similar software programs, but failed to succeed. I know it could be done manually in Windows /regedit/, I just don't know how.
My request to the Devs is, could somebody, please, point out the file(s) in GIMP file system responsible for that feature? It'd be much much appreciated.
Thank you!

That sounds to me like an issue for the Windows installer of GIMP.

If the Windows installer for GIMP didn't set file associations, or ask if you wanted them set, you can do it yourself. IIRC, the procedure is right click an image, select "Open With", select program (ie. GIMP), and click something to say "always use" the program with that file type.

Got it figured out.
In Windows regedit added new key 'edit with GIMP' in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\ and modified the command from default to GIMP's full path. Pretty easy.
Cheers!
