I was just having a look through the options in visual studio 2008 and noticed a new section for selecting the default editor for non-standard files, such as monorail views (.vm). Up to now i’ve either had to make do with the basic text editor or mess around with the registry, neither of which is that much fun. The dialog is in options -> text editor -> file extension you can then choose what editor you want to associate with each file extension. Hope this is helpful to someone!

You could also just right click the file in the solution explorer and chose “open with” and set another editor type as the default.
