Is there any way to set up external editor integration for VS2008?

By this I mean when I double-click on a .CPP file in the Solution Explorer, it should open in the external editor, not the internal VS one.

To keep it simple let’s say I want it to open the file in Notepad++ (or how about Notepad to make it even simpler).
