Well, I don't know why your OS does not accept any arbitrary program as 
application for 'open'. I'm rinning W2k and I don't face problems of 
this kind at all. But anyway, to associate files with Emacs, you should 
consider using gnuserv and consequently better associate files to 
gnuclient. runemacs will start a new emacs process anytime you call it 
while gnuclient picks the file, loading it in a new buffer of an already 
running emacs. Much more convenient and 'emacs-like'.

Sorry this does not solve your problem directly. But once you solved it, 
this might even increase your happiness with emacs.
