if you see only %1 filename, use this (i replace all %%1 to %1)

@echo off
SET st3Path=C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe

rem add it for all file types
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% "%1"" /f

rem add it for folders
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "Open with Sublime Text 3" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /v "Icon" /d "%st3Path%,0" /f
@reg add "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Sublime Text 3\command" /t REG_SZ /v "" /d "%st3Path% "%1"" /f

I've found a more complex solution that works also with admin privileges when used with the shift key.
