I just built a new computer and installed Sublime Text since I prefer it as my quick edit text editor due to its fast load time compared to Code or Atom. However, it has always annoyed me that it reopens files that were open when the application closed last and it always takes me a minute to remember how to change that behavior. So, for my own future reference go to Preferences -> Settings. You will see two panes now. In the right pane, for user settings, add these two lines inside the brackets:
“hot_exit”: false,
“remember_open_files”: false
Enjoy!
