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

  1. Save changes to the file
  2. Right click on the file then Run as Administrator
  3. 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

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

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 image

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