How to go directly to Photoshop Elements 2019 Editor

Now that I finally got my install of Photoshop Elements 2019 fixed, I am looking at another issue. With Elements 14 (and prior), I was able to set the registry so that right clicking on an image file and choosing "Edit" would make it go directly to the Elements Editor. I would use regedit to go to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command and change the default value to go to the edit program for Elements. For Elements 2019 I can set it to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2019\Elements Home\Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019.exe" "%1", but that opens the full Elements window where I then have to next click on the Editor icon to go there. Is there a way with Elements 2019 to go directly to its editor? This is not as major as my previous issue (which required installing as the administrator, not just a user account with administrator privileges), but would still save time!

    Go to Program Files and find the Editor .exe file and create a shortcut on your desktop or taskbar..
