Login as Admin and open Run dialog using Windows + R . Enter regedit in the Run windows. We have to find the */Shell key. The easiest way to do is type the following lines below the File menu.

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\

Under the shell we have to create one new key and value with a command sub key as follows.

Open with Sublime Text
  • Create another Key under the Sublim Tex as command
  • Modify the command default value on the right panel as C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe “%1”

Now you can open a file in Sublim using the context menu.
