Hi,

Right click on the file lets take example 1.C and select open with, in
the pop opened window GVIM is not present as an app for so select
Browse button and navigate to gvim.exe and select it and press ok, now
GVIM should come in list applications to handle this file type then
when press OK (always use this program for this file should be
selected) it open in gvim from then onwards for .C files. In this
particulate case when I select gvim.exe it does not come in the list
of application so gvim not been able to set as default app for that
file type.

Hope this helps,
