Are you using 64 bit under 64 bit Win 7?

Yes except it's a French version

Have you set it with the File properties ?

Yes(I've tried a few things )

Yes(I've tried a few things )

Ditto. . .

Bizoo, did you use Sublime Text 1? Sublime Text X? Maybe there was/is a problem when upgrading/cross grading?

This actually isn't a problem with Sublime text, it's a generic quirk introduced in Vista and left lingering in W7. I actually recently made a blog post about this very issue, you can find it at http://anders.tonfeldt.se/?p=775 but I'll detail it here since it's generally considered bad form to drop an url and leave.

1. Open regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\sublime_text.exe\shell\open\command
3. Verify that the path is accurate, correct it if it is not. Exit regedit.
4. Open task manager via ctrl+alt+del, kill explorer.exe, go to run and type explorer.exe (or skip this step and simply reboot).
5. Now attempt the same thing, right click a text file, open with, navigate to sublime, and it should now appear in the list of available applications.

Disclaimer;
My post above uses another application as an example and it's not guaranteed to fix your problem, but it's likely to be the same as I've encountered it countless times when installing / uninstalling / reinstalling an application, or just updating one, in Win7/Vista.

Thank you TFeldt, that was the problem.
Everything works as expected now

Yes, thanks Tfeldt! That did the trick!

Thank you TFeldt! Worked a treat!

I'm not sure if it's just a Vista thing or what, but It's not that difficult in Win7 for me... click the down arrow in your screenshots. Here, watch this 30sec screencast I just recorded:

I understand your instructions, Bizoo -- and it's something I've done countless times with other programs, and dozens of times with Sublime Text 2. . . but it just does not work. Attached is what I see both before AND after browsing to the Sublime Text 2 executable.
