File associations plus extra arguments?

Hello,

I need to be able to click on a .vnc file and have W8 run

vncviewer.exe -config [that file I just clicked on] .

or literally, vncviewer.exe -config "%1" if this were windows XP

But I can only select the program to run it, and not add these extra arguments or commands as part of it.

I don't know why the edit applet was removed. I haven't found a work-around other than creating a .cmd file with the argument. As example:

@echo off
x:\path\vncviewer.exe -config "%1"

save as RunVnc.cmd
and do an Open With...
to set it as default

Edit the other way it to make a shortcut with target
x:\path\vncviewer.exe -config "%1"

and drag the file onto it
