Sublime Text/Merge Portable Tool

If you only want the context menu, you may see the Sublime Text plugin WindowsContextMenu as well.

This tool is developed to manage the context menu, file icons, file associations for Sublime Text/Merge under Windows.

It also allows you to replace your notepad.exe with Sublime Text. To do it, you need to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed on your PC.

Usage

Take Sublime-Text-Portable-Tool.exe as the example. For Sublime-Merge-Portable-Tool.exe, steps are quite the same.

1. Put Sublime-Text-Portable-Tool.exe along with the sublime_text.exe, whose default locations are under C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3 (ST 3) or C:\Program Files\Sublime Text (ST 4).
2. Execute Sublime-Text-Portable-Tool.exe.
3. Just enter the number for what you want to do as listed in the menu.
