First, I replied to my original post (on my gmail: _____), the first line
of which is this:
  OK, re-installing from this: gvim_9.1.0_x64_signed.exe

Second, the right-click Vim option was NOT there. Also, the Open With "Vim"
option also was NOT there.

It was suggested to register the DLL. When that failed, it was suggested
that I manually add a few registry entries - which I did. NOW, these two
options are there after right-clicking a TXT file in Windows Explorer.

I was cautioned that this manual registry editing may result in other
functionality failures later. I do want all designed functionality.

What am I missing?
