    Is there a way to open a cmd window from Win+R to a specific directory?


    If I want to open a cmd window to c:\dir is there a way to open directly there from either from the Windows 10 search box or using Win+R? I've tried, for example cmd c:\dir (with and without quotes) but that doesn't work.

    Why does shell:windows in RUN(win + R) open up Windows directory?

    • Is this a Run(Win+R)-only thing? It doesn't do anything in cmd.
    • What else can I do with this syntax/command?
    • Where can I find documentation for this?
    • Is this a windows 10 feature? Does it work on Windows 7?

    Cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode

    I am using win 10 pro. My initial problem is I cannot display list of wifi networks. I cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode. I've used all the trouble shooting steps on this site and nothing works. Short of throwing this PC out the window is there anything
    else I can try?
