Works like a charm. Excellent work.

Thank you

Cool

You just solved a problem I've been having for months, if not years. Thank you!

How can i Remove this function after uninstall sublime text 2...... please help me

Just delete those reg entries or use a registry cleaner

when i right click recycle bin it shows edit with sublime text, how to remove that and make this work only with the files?

It just works on a file. What about the folder?

What if we want to open a whole folder in sublime? ("Open as Sublime Text Project")

I somehow managed to find on internet and created a new gist.

In this gist you can create keys to open file and folders in sublime.

WoW, very nice solution

Minor Fix:

1. Add Quotes path to allow file paths with spaces
2. Added Option to "Open Sublime Here" to allow right clicking on directory background (

@echo off
SET st3Path=\"C:\Users\gtalarico\Dropbox\Shared\_Common\_Portable Apps\Sublime3\sublime_text.exe\"

rem add it for all file types
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime 3"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% \"%%1\"" /f

rem add it for folders
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime 3"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3"         /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% \"%%1\"" /f

rem add it for folder background
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3 Here"         /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open Sublime 3 Here"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3 Here"         /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3 Here\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% \"%%V\"" /f
pause

it's work for linux ?

Everything works fine.

But I have one problem and that is if we select a directory and open in Sublime Text.
The probme is that it open's that directory in new sublime window.

I want to append that directory in the existing sublime window.

Very very Thanks.I reduced my work.

Remove / uninstall for the original script:

@echo off
SET st2Path=C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe

rem remove it for "all file types"
@reg delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 2" /f

rem remove it for folders
@reg delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 2" /f
pause

License?

I want to fork https://github.com/jcppkkk/OpenWithSublime to create a similar set of scripts for Visual Basic Code. Asked him about license and he pointed that his scripts are forked from https://gist.github.com/FoxColdMetal/7403764 which are forked from these. So what license would it be ? :)

I've never used Sublime Text 2 and i didn't read carefully that this post is about Sublime Text 2. I'm using Sublime Text 3 instead. So i added open with Sublime Text 2 option to the right click and don't know how to undo it. Any ideas?

I succesfully added open with sublime text 3 option by changing everything from 2 to 3 by editing the folder. You should change st2 to st3 in addition to that.

Added License. Feel free to send your st3 updates and I can add them here. I don't use ST anymore but seeing how useful this is, I want continue supporting this.

Thank you for this script!
Based on many comments on this gist, I went to create my overengineered version of this script, that can install and uninstall those changes.
I also added a way to add the path to sublime text to the current user environment variables (As I got used to run subl from command line while working on different operating systems).
And as a final touch, it will ask for admin permissions, in case the user forgot to run it.

In hopes it will be useful to someone else, I thought I'd it here: https://gist.github.com/TheZoc/e3295df094801fa937596964499ac048
