I use the following two maps (on Windows):


Quite often while editing a file, I want Windows Explorer to be opened
in the directory of the file.
That way I can right click on the file or double click on it.

nnoremap <silent> <C-F5> :if expand("%:p:h") != ""<CR>:!start explorer.exe
%:p:h<CR>:endif<CR><CR>


But, if I "visually" select some data and use the same key mapping as the
above
I specifically want Windows to execute it. So in your case and along with
what Gary said, let Windows use the default action assigned to the file
association.

vnoremap <silent> <C-F5> :<C-U>let old_reg=@"<cr>gvy:silent!!cmd /cstart
<C-R><C-R>"<CR><CR>:let @"=old_reg<cr>


This way I have only 1 key stroke to remember, though when visually selected
they perform different actions. The preamble around the call is just to
restore the default Vim registers which I used when executing the command
so that things are returned to how they were before I used the map.

HTH,
Dave
