[Vishal Gupta]

Paste following code in notepad and save it with name "vishal.reg" (including quotes):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\notepad]
@="Open with Notepad2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\notepad\command]
@="C:\\Notepad2.exe"

PS: Replace "C:\\Notepad2.exe" with the exact path of the file and make sure to use \\.

Now run the file and u'll get an option "Open with Notepad2" whenever u'll right-click on any file.
