Windows 10: Easily open PowerShell or CMD in any folder with this registry file

Hi everyone,

If you frequently work with the command line in Windows, you might find it useful to open a PowerShell or CMD prompt in a specific folder without navigating to it manually. Fortunately, you can add two new options to the right-click menu of any folder to do just that, by using a registry file.

I have created a repository on GitHub called "Terminal-Here-Windows" that contains the registry file and some additional files to make it even easier to use.

Here's how to download and use it:

Go to the repository page at https://github.com/Ajotah98/Terminal-Here-Windows

Click on the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP". This will download a ZIP archive containing the registry file and some other files.

Extract the contents of the ZIP archive to a folder of your choice.

Double-click the Terminal_here.reg file to merge its contents into the registry. Confirm any prompts that appear.

Once you've done this, you should be able to right-click any folder and see two new options in the context menu: "PowerShell here..." and "CMD here...". Selecting either of these options will open a new command prompt window in the selected folder.

Note that this file modifies the registry, so be careful when using it. I tested it myself on Windows 10 and it works as expected.

I hope anyone find this useful.

Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?

Difficulty in Powershell and following the instructions herein

The problem seems to be a “file not found” one.

So, please follow these steps:

1. Download the .ps1 file from here and save it any place you want.
2. Go to the folder you saved it, right click on the file, unblock it and then copy it [Ctrl-C]. If it’s saved in your Downloads folder, skip step 3
3. Then go to your Downloads folder and paste it [Ctrl-V] there.
4. Open Powershell as Administrator.
5. Type the command Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
6. Type the command cd $env:USERPROFILE\Downloads
7. Type the command .\RealtekAudioDriverIntegration.ps1

If everything fails, do the following:

1. Download the .ps1 file from here and save it any place you want in your C: drive.
2. Open Powershell as Administrator.
3. Type the command Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
4. Type the command dir C:\ "RealtekAudioDriverIntegration.ps1" -Recurse -ea 0 | Unblock-File
5. Type the command dir C:\ "RealtekAudioDriverIntegration.ps1" -Recurse -ea 0 | select -First 1 | % { & $_.FullName }

Then post the results here.
