I only use Windows at work, so I'm a bit newbie-ish here.

I installed Vim for Windows on Windows XP.  I'd like to open a text
file with GVim, not Vim.

* I double click an icon.  It opens up in Vim.

* I right click an icon and choose "Edit with Vim".  I opens in GVim.

* I right click an icon and choose "Open With" and select "Vim".  It
opens in Vim.

* I right click an icon and choose "Open With | Choose Program...".
Then I click on Vim.   It opens up in Vim.

* I right click an icon and choose "Open With | Choose Program...".
Then I click on Browse and select "D:\Program
Files\vim\vim72\gvim.exe".  Windows doesn't seem to like this because
it throws me back into the "Open With" window as if gvim.exe wasn't a
proper executable.

* From the Windows explorer, I choose "Tools | File Types | Txt |
Advanced".  I choose "Open | Edit".   I see this in the "Application
used to perform action":

"D:\Program Files\vim\vim72\gvim.exe" "%1"

which looks ok to me.

How do I coax Windows to use GVim, not Vim?

Thanks!
