The first result on Goolge for windows sublime alias

  1. Create a batch file that contains doskey subl="C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe" $*
  2. Create a registry file that will set the batch file to run on startup by adding the bat file to the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

Hi James, thanks for your fast reply.

I created a bat file containing: " @echo off doskey subimel="C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe" $* " yet, creating a registry file means that I just have to import the bat file in the mentioned registry or did I get that wrong?
