If you are using windows check:

C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Local\atom

Atom SETTINGS -> System: tab -> Checked two options: - Show in file context menus - Show in folder context menus

cd C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\AppData\Local\atom
start atom.exe

Just copy this code to a notepad file and save it as Atom.bat on your desktop. I know it is a workaround, but hey, it works! You can customize the icon too if you want by going to it's properties.

First go to this location 

C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\AppData\Local\atom

In my case YOURUSERNAME is hp. After going to that folder check the file name atom with atom symbol of type application.

Click on the link below to see the picture.

After that, right click that file and click the option create shortcut. Then move the shortcut to your Desktop. Now you can access/open atom editor from your desktop.

ENJOY!
