Can I right-click a folder in Windows 7 and choose "Open with Sublime Text"?

sublime-text-2

In Windows 7, I can do this at the command line:

"c:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe" samplefolder

This launches a Sublime Text window, with the contents of samplefolder loaded in Sublime's sidebar.

While this works as needed, it's inconvenient to open a command prompt every single time. Is there any way I can add this behavior to Windows Explorer's right-click menu? I'd like to be able to right-click a folder and "Open with Sublime" just like I can right-click a folder and "Scan for viruses".
