Warning!!!   Messes with registry!! Play with caution!

On NT-derivatives, at least:
--------------
function! s:Associate(ext, remove)
    if a:remove
        silent exec '!assoc ' . a:ext . '='
    else
        silent exec '!assoc ' . a:ext . '=OpenInVim'
        silent !ftype OpenInVim=path\to\gvim "$*"
    endif
endfunction

command! Associate call s:Associate('.' . expand("%:e"), 0)
command! DeAssociate call s:Associate('.' . expand("%:e"), 1)

command! -nargs=1 AssociateArg call s:Associate('.' . <args>, 0)
command! -nargs=1 DeAssociateArg call s:Associate('.' . <args>, 1)
--------------

should do something similar to what you describe.
