How to change default Windows editor to GIMP?
#1
I like to view pix in the standard windows viewer.  I only use GIMP to edit.
In Windows 10, you could use a simple registry hack to make Gimp the default editor in right-click/context menus instead of Windows Paint.

This was the Registry location to change the default in Windows 10:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command

Unfortunately, this key doesn't exist in Windows 11.
Does anyone know how to set Gimp as the default editor in the right-click/context menus instead of whatever Win11 makes us use?

TIA!
(P.S., This is NOT the same as simply making Gimp the default photo handler.)
