On Windows SendTo is sometimes used to open multiple files but VSCode isn't listen there.

Is it possible to add it?

I looked briefly and didn't see this issue so there it is. :)

Applications are not usually listed in that submenu, just locations.

The Windows setup allows you to add a context menu entry that will work for multiple files.

@joaomoreno The issue is it will create multiple instances of the editor instead of opening it up in a single instance, generally, when you select multiple files, you expect the files to be opened in the same instance.

Forgot to mention this in my post. :)
