How to open files from visual studio's 2013 Source Control Explorer in Notepad++


What i want to get: after double click on file in Source Control Explorer, connected to TFS, it must be opened in external text editor ( like Notepad++ ).

Problem: 'View with..' menu item is missing, so i don't know how to change default editor to files listed in Source Control Explorer.
