well, you can always right click on a file with the extension, .rb,
and then open, and say to always open with ruby.
your might have to browse to it.
that is what i did.

you can also do instant rails. it is a real gem.

if setting the path and file association in windows explorer (Tools /
Folder options / Filetypes) doesn’t do it, you might have to mess with
ASSOC and FTYPE per this thread for python

Where exactly did you install Ruby? Is it in C:\ruby\bin or C:\Program
Files\ruby\bin or somewhere else?
