When I did this I found that some or all of the file types previously 
associated with GIMP 2.6.12 were reassigned to 2.7.5, so for example 
double-clicking an .xcf file would open it in GIMP 2.7.5 instead. That 
may or may not be what you want (or you may not care if you only ever 
start the relevant version of GIMP and open files from there). If file 
types are not associated with the version you'd like, you can use 
Windows' settings to change them; I think on XP they're under Control 
Panel > Folder Options > File Types.
