In Explorer you can set up different actions to be performed on a document in addition to just the standard 'open' command that will be available to you when you right click on your icon. Go to an Explorer window and choose View | Options and then the tab 'File Types'.
In the list you see, find the association for the file type you want to add an action to, e.g. BMP. Double click on it to bring up the edit window.
You should see that there is already at least one action here, probably Open, maybe Print, etc. Click on the New . . . button and type in a new command, like Edit or View or whatever you want. Then select the application you want to use to Edit your Bitmap, as opposed to just viewing it. Then when you right click on a BMP file you will see your new command there and you can easily choose to View, Edit, Open, Print . . . .whatever you want with whatever application
you want to do it with. |
