I.e. the full/absolute filename.

Then you'd have to change the PATH variable after each update.

Anyway, my suggestion to use an editor.bat script makes it possible to
quickly switch editor without having to change any file associations
-- in case you'd decide to switch to emacs one day (and back
again :-). This is equivalent to setting the EDITOR environment
variable on other OS's and then tell apps to open your text files with
$EDITOR but using environment variables doesn't always work out that
well under windows.
