Re-map the association to use your main Squeak VM. And specify a name 
for the image (as %1) in the mapping.

It should be something like (assuming you're using some flavor of NT):

C:\> assoc .image
.image=image_auto_file

C:\> ftype image_auto_file
image_auto_file=e:\Squeak\Squeak.exe "%1"

You can probably do this through the explorer's menu choice 
Tools/Folder Options/File Types

Or in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.image which should name a 
file type (like "image_auto_file" above), and the default entry in 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\<filetype>\shell\open\command (in my case 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\image_auto_file\shell\open\command), which is in my 
case e:\squeak\squeak.exe "%1" .
