A reg file that modifies the "Open with Code" context menu to instead open with WSL VSCode

open_with_wsl_vscode.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; The content of the hex below is as follows:
; C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe bash -c "p='%V';p=\${p/W:/\\\\\\\\wsl$\\\\Ubuntu};echo Opening \$p ...;code \$(wslpath \$p)"
; %V contains the directory you right clicked in/on. This command uses wslpath to convert the Windows dir to a WSL dir, then
;  uses 'code <dir>' to open it (assuming you have the remote VSCode command installed)
; The other bits relating to W: are specific to my needs, as I have \\wsl$\Ubuntu\ mounted as W:
; If you do the same, you will be able to 'Open with Code' on a WSL network mount
; Otherwise, it will still work as intended on Windows filepaths.

set_key_permissions.txt

; Run this script with: regini set_key_permissions.txt
; It sets the keys to read-only so vscode updates doesn't mess with them
; Specifically:
; 2 - Administrators read access (replaces the current write access)
; 5 - Creator full access (your user)
; 8 - World read access
; 19 - System read access (since I think it has write by default?)
; Note: While this appears to work, I haven't extensively tested it

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\VSCode\command [2 5 8 19]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\VSCode\command [2 5 8 19]
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\VSCode\command [2 5 8 19]

Note: This seems to need to be re-ran periodically, assuming after VSCode updates.

Edit: Added set_key_permissions.txt to be ran with regini which appears to resolve it?
