P5.js-editor won't open by doubleclicking on a .js file in Windows 10 #269

I have confirmed that I have Windows Default file types is set to P5.exe, but it doesn't make any difference. If you double click or use "open with" a .js file will NOT open. The only way to open any .js file is to p5.exe and then open a file from it's menu! I believe one of the reasons is that the p5 editor does not appear to follow the usual installation procedure of most applications. You just download it and run it.. I have nothing to back up this theory, but I suspect this compromises Windows 10 security and so it will not allow me to open a .js file unless from within a running program. This is not the case on a MAC... Files open for editing as expected in my experience.

If someone knows of another reason why Windows 10 will not open p5 Editor when trying to open it from a file browser, please let me know!!!
