To add a Windows context menu item "Edit With GIMP", download RegEditWithGimp.reg, edit the version number in the exe path to match your actual GIMP exe, and then double-click the reg file to install it into the registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\Edit with GIMP]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\Edit with GIMP\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\GIMP 2\\bin\\gimp-2.10.exe\" \"%1\""

Thx. Now I see why mine wasn't working in win11. Been using mine since Vista on win7 for over a decade, and now on win10. I only removed the "with GIMP" part to match what I'm used to in the menu.

You can add "Icon"="\"C:\\Program Files\\GIMP 2\\bin\\gimp-2.10.exe\",0" under the third line to give it an icon.
