I had purchased Sublime Text 2 and a License I am guessing 2016 for a Windows 7 64 bit. In 2018 I did a update to Sublime Text 3. Some how these folders were deleted. As of now I have reinstalled Sublime Text 3. Here is what I am seeing.
I have a Sublime Text 3 folder under C:\Program Files with a lock on the folder
I have a Sublime Text 3 folder under C:\Program Files(x86) no lock on folder
What I am trying to do is make all .txt files open with Sublime Text 3
I know the steps using Control Panel but Sublime Text 3 is not showing as a OPTION
Thought if Sublime Text 3 installed in the PF(x86) that is correct
BUT Why do I have Sublime Text 3 in the Program Files folder
Sublime Text 3 Issues

32-bit applicaitons are installed into C:\Program Files (x86).
64-bit applications are installed into C:\Program Files.
Sublime Text 3 is available as both. Current releases of Sublime Text (build 4000+) support 64bit only.
So maybe you made a transition from 32bit to 64bit at some point.
A “lock on the folder” may indicate some sort of encryption being applied to that specific folder, maybe by a 3rd-party app or legacy NTFS encryption mechanisms. That’s nothing ST or its installer would apply.
What I am trying to do is make all .txt files open with Sublime Text 3
That’s just like with any other app. Either use “Open With…” sub menu item from context menu, choose “Other App”, if ST is not already listed, navigate to sublime_text.exe and chosse it. On Windows 11 there are two options, “Always open”, “only once”.
Alternatively open txt file’s properties and choose the default app to open the file type, with.
