Here's what I did.
Save the *evt file where you will remember the location. Run and type in
that location and the name of the log that you want to open, in my case it
was test.evt and so I typed X:\test.evt and it opened. The first time it
asked me to pick what I wanted to open it with, I clicked browse, aimed at
the %WinDir%\System32\eventvwr.msc file, made that the default, gave it a
description ("Event Log File") and clicked okay. Then, to make sure it
worked, I ran the prompt again and it worked wonders.
