Assuming you have GIMP 2.8 installed to the default directory, you can do this via a registry script created by David L.

To add the 'Edit with GIMP' option to system image types, save the following as a .reg file and run it.

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-2.8.exe\" \"%1\""
