Add context menu to Windows 7 to open file/folder in PhpStorm

phpstorm.bat

@echo off

SET PhpStormPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PhpStorm 8.0.2\bin\PhpStorm64.exe
 
echo Adding file entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open in PhpStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open in PhpStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open in PhpStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%PhpStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open in PhpStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%PhpStormPath% \"%%1\"" /f
 
echo Adding folder entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open directory in PhpStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open directory in PhpStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open directory in PhpStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%PhpStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open directory in PhpStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%PhpStormPath% \"%%1\"" /f

pause

You should also add in an entry to the directory background so you can right click inside a folder in an open space and open in PhpStorm

echo Adding folder entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\Open directory in PhpStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open directory in PhpStorm" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\Open directory in PhpStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%PhpStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\Open directory in PhpStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%PhpStormPath% "%%1"" /f

@ToddHedrick your suggestion, (really usefull !), won't work for me, other do!

@echo off

SET WebStormPath=<path_to_exe>

echo Adding file entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open in WebStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open in WebStorm" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open in WebStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%WebStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open in WebStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%WebStormPath% "%%1"" /f

echo Adding folder entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open directory in WebStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open directory in WebStorm" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open directory in WebStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%WebStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Open directory in WebStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%WebStormPath% "%%1"" /f

echo Adding folder background
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\Open directory in WebStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open directory in WebStorm" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\Open directory in WebStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%WebStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\Open directory in WebStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%WebStormPath% "%%1"" /f

pause

Any suggestions?

Not sure if you are still after this, but I think it wasn't working because it didn't include the shell. The following worked for me:

echo Adding folder backgrounds
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open directory in PhpStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open directory in PhpStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open directory in PhpStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%PhpStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open directory in PhpStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%PhpStormPath% \"%%1\"" /f```

works great ! ❤️

Here is the one that works perfectly for me

1. Create a file name it webstorm.bat
2. Open file in any text editor
3. Copy all text below from @echo off to pause and paste it in the file
4. Consider replace the <Webstorm.exe path> with your webstorm.exe path
   for e.g

C:\Program Files\JetBrains\WebStorm 2017.2.2\bin\webstorm64.exe

5. Save changes to the file
6. Right click on the file then Run as Administrator
7. Enjoy it!

@echo off

SET WebStormPath=<Webstorm.exe path>
 
echo Adding file entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\WebStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open w&ith WebStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\WebStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%WebStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\WebStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%WebStormPath% \"%%1\"" /f
 
echo Adding folder entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\WebStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open w&ith WebStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\WebStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%WebStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\WebStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%WebStormPath% \"%%1\"" /f

echo Adding folder backgrounds
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\WebStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open w&ith WebStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\WebStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%WebStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\WebStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%WebStormPath% \"%%V\"" /f

pause

Works in Windows 10 as well ! Thank you very much :)

Here's a better version for PhpStorm:

@echo off

SET PhpStormPath=D:\Programs\JetBrains\PhpStorm 2018.1.6\bin\PhpStorm64.exe
 
echo Adding file entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\PhpStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open in PhpStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\PhpStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%PhpStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\PhpStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%PhpStormPath% \"%%1\"" /f
 
echo Adding within a folder entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\PhpStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with PhpStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\PhpStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%PhpStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\PhpStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%PhpStormPath% \"%%V\"" /f

echo Adding folder entries
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\PhpStorm" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with PhpStorm"   /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\PhpStorm" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%PhpStormPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\PhpStorm\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%PhpStormPath% \"%%1\"" /f

Gist link

You can either click on a file, folder or if you're inside a folder - on empty space and open it in PhpStorm. It isn't mine, I just tweaked this gist that was intended for WebStorm

@FawzyMokhtar thanks, worked nicely on Windows 10. (Just replaced the string "WebStorm" with "PHPStorm", similar to what KulaGGin did)
