OK, so you move your vim folder and suddenly the context menu 'edit with vim' that appeared when you right click on a file in explorer is missing. To fix it, run regedit and set the following values into the correct one:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Vim\Gvim]
path=C:\Program Files\vim\vim64\gvim.exe
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99}\InProcServer32]
(Default) = C:\Program Files\vim\vim64\gvimext.dll

I tried the above and it didn't work on my WinXP Pro 64-bit workstation. Also, the syntax shown is not quite right according to the way regedit exports the content. I found one extra key in one of my systems (ThreadingModel) and don't know what it is for. Here's the registry code as regedit exported it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Vim]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Vim\Gvim]
"path"="D:\\Applications\\Vim\\vim64\\gvim.exe"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99}\InProcServer32]
--AT--="D:\\Applications\\Vim\\vim64\\gvimext.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

I also needed the following:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\gvim]
--AT--="{51EEE242-AD87-11d3-9C1E-0090278BBD99}"
