I don't remember the exact menu/option names, but this should be
the way to check:

- Windows Explorer, Menu 'Extras', 'Folder Options'.  Or Control
  Panel, 'Folder Options'
- Tab 'Filetypes'
- Scroll to '.rb' and select
- Button 'Advanced' or 'Extended' on the bottom right
- Now there should be a textfield containing '...\ruby.exe'. Try
  to add "%*" or "%1" "%2" ... (try with and without quotes)
  after ruby.exe

(%1 gets replaced by the first argument, %2 by the second,
limited to 9 arguments. %* should be replaced by all arguments)
