I can't imagine that this would be a reason.  Try to open TeXworks,
select "File" -> "Open" from its menu bar and select your TeX file.
Obviously, the file needs to be somewhere on your hard disk.

If that doesn't work, I unfortunately cannot help you, because I've not
used Windows for years and don't know, what current Windows does wrong
then.  Please consider to search for your problems with the search
engine of you choice (Google, Bing, ...).

I'm not sure that hacking the registry would help.  There might also be
a method the tell the Windows file manager to open *.tex files with
TeXworks, but I've no clue how it's done in current Windows versions.

And, as mentioned by Zdenek Wagner, please consider reading some manuals
and documentation, where everything is explained in a way it should
work.

Best,
  Stephan
