Re: WIN7 Can not set vim 7.3 as default program

it seems gvim 7.3 does not setup the registry key correctly.
you may run regedit in your command window, and add/modify the following keys. if they do not exist, create them.

key 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\gvim.exe\shell\edit\command
value: create a default value, may be like this: "d:\progra~1\vim\vim73\gvim.exe" "%1"

key 2:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\gvim.exe\shell\open\command
value: should be the same as the former one.

and your problem should be solved.

What does "unable to do this" mean? What do you do? What
happens?

You may find the info here to be a workaround:

The "--remote-silent" stuff is not required, but can be useful.
