Mel,
Unfortunately, you'll have to edit the registry in order to modify "edit" and other verbs for a file type. Or, you may try this utility.

Control Panel / Default Programs only allows you to change the Default option
(generally the preview option) that occurs when you double-click a file. How
can I change the edit option, or the view options, or add these options for a
particular file type?
Thanks.
