I've tried using the following registry file to add Sublime Text 2 to the Default Programs list in Windows 8 Enterprise x64. It doesn't show up. All the paths are correct. This method has worked for other programs and works on Windows 7 Professional x64 (using an identical .reg file).



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Try using Default Programs Editor.




Default Programs Editor makes it easy to fix file association settings in Windows, including context menu items, icons, and descriptions. Also: autoplay settings and default programs settings ...all without fiddling around in the registry.
