I have summarized everything from above for the sake of simplicity in a script and adapted it for Sublime Text 4. Just save it as .bat and run it as administrator:
@echo off
SET stPath=C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe
rem add it for all file types
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%stPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%stPath% \"%%1\"" /f
rem add it for folders
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%stPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%stPath% \"%%1\"" /f
rem add it for right-clicking inside folders
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%stPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Open with Sublime Text\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%stPath% \"%%W\"" /f

I just don't understand why a $100 application doesn't have something as essential as this..
Thanks, @KasimirRomer. It works in Build 4126
You can use
HKEY_USERS\{the-account-SID}\Software\Classes
instead of
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
That way you don't need admin rights.
- create add_ST_to_context_menu.txt file,
- paste the code in it,
- rename to add_ST_to_context_menu.bat
- put this bat file into same folder as sublime_text.exe ,
- then run the bat file as Admin
code:
rem put this file in same folder as sublime_text.exe
@echo off
SET curdir=%~dp0
SET stName=sublime_text.exe
set "stPath=%curdir%%stName%"
echo %stPath%
rem add it for all file types
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%stPath%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Sublime Text\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%stPath% \"%%1\"" /f
rem add it for folders
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%stPath%,0" /f

I had to replace all instances of "Sublime Text 3" with "Sublime Text".
Also, you can also remove the entries with this.
