<p dir="auto">As discussed in <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="53989585" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/4987" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/atom/atom/issues/4987/hovercard" href="https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/4987">#4987</a>, the Atom installer installs a "Open with Atom" entry in the Windows Explorer context menu for every file and folder. It would be preferable, as <a class="user-mention notranslate" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/paulcbetts/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/paulcbetts">@paulcbetts</a> suggests, to have a prefence where it can be turned off or on entirely, or just for specific files and folders. For example, not many people will open images from Explorer with Atom.</p>

<p dir="auto">Is there an option to disable the "Open with Atom" shell entry? I can't find one, if there isn't, see this as a feature request :)</p>
