Did you try to associate files by setting the corresponding registry
keys?

For example this should associate c-files with gnuclient

<-- snip and save to emacs.reg or whatever -->
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit]
@="edit (ascii)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\edit\command]
@="D:\\GNU\\emacs\\site-lisp\\bin\\gnuclientw.exe -F \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile\Shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile\Shell\Open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="D:\\GNU\\emacs\\site-lisp\\bin\\gnuclientw.exe -F \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cfile\DefaultIcon]
@="D:\\GNU\\emacs\\site-lisp\\bin\\icons.dll,3"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.c]
@="cfile"
"Content Type"="text/plain"
<-- snip -->
