"Edit" in the context menu for sp1 files

I am using Windows PowerShell in Vista Ultimate x64.
I would expect the context menu for sp1 files to have both OPEN (=run) and
EDIT (with Notepad) items. It only has OPEN.

How could I open the file for edit other than dragging it to the Notepad
icon on the desktop?

Thanks,

Actually, by default OPEN does indeed open ps1 files in Notepad. So
double-click does what you want - starts Notepad.

There's no default way to start ps1 files from Windows Explorer shortcut
menu. You have to either open while inside the PowerShell console or use the
PowerShell executable in a command-line and pass the script path as a
parameter.
