Yes, in Windows Explorer, go to the
  Tools|Folder options|File Types
dialog, and add a new type for the TGZ extension, and then associate it with 7-Zip.

.tgz is a common enough shorthand for tar.zg that I really think 7-Zip should have it built in on the list of extensions it can associate...

Or use a .REG file:
- Open Notepad
- Copy-Paste following text in Notepad

--B<------------START-
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.taz]
@="7-Zip.gz"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tgz]
@="7-Zip.gz"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tz]
@="7-Zip.gz"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tbz]
@="7-Zip.bz2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tbz2]
@="7-Zip.bz2"

--B<--------------END-

- Save it as "extra7zfileext.reg"
- Double-click it to enter data in the registry
