Windows Vim Edit Menu

When I select more than one file in Windows and right-click, the
resulting menu contains three options for editing them with vim:

Edit with multiples Vims
Edit with single Vim
Diff with Vim

This is alright, but I usually want to edit multiple files with
multiple windows in a single vim (i.e. using the :split command). Why
is this not an option? I know I can go to the command line and type
"vim -o ..." or "vim -O ..." for horizontal or vertical window splits,
or just do it manually by using the :split command, but I'd prefer to
just use the Windows menu. Is there a way to set this option as part
of the menu? Failing that, is there a way to convert multiple files in
the vim buffer list to multiple files in split windows in a single
instance of vim?

Thanks,

Does this help, if you substitute -p with -o?

To the last question, yes. Execute the command

:all

See

:help 08.6

and scroll down to the end of the section titled, "OPENING A WINDOW FOR
ALL ARGUMENTS".
