If you want *all* EXE files to run under mono instead of .NET, I am 100% certain your system will be completely broken.  

No, even if there were a way to do this, it would certainly be a terrible idea.

If you want *just this one* EXE file to always run under mono, that would be pretty reasonable but windows doesn't have any facility that I know of to make it happen.  The closest that I know would be to create a shortcut which launches mono thefile.exe
