Sublime text automatically opens a few files on startup

#1

Hi, I’m using sublime text 2 on ubuntu 12.10. Every time I open anything in ST, two other files always open in 2 separate tabs. (It’s always the same 2 files) I’ve tried looking around but can’t figure out how to disable this.
Thanks

Try adding these settings to your user preferences:

{
    // Exiting the application with hot_exit enabled will cause it to close
    // immediately without prompting. Unsaved modifications and open files will
    // be preserved and restored when next starting.
    //
    // Closing a window with an associated project will also close the window
    // without prompting, preserving unsaved changes in the workspace file
    // alongside the project.
    "hot_exit": false,


    // remember_open_files makes the application start up with the last set of
    // open files. Changing this to false will have no effect if hot_exit is
    // true
    "remember_open_files": false
}

On file /home/{your-username}/.local/share/applications/sublime_text.desktop in line that starts with “Exec=” delete everything after space, this line need to be something like this “Exec={path-to-your-application}”.
I had the same problem, in that line was “Exec={path-to-application} {path-to-some-file}”.
Also, you can change “Name=” line.
