    Having the letter 'W' open 'New' submenu after customization?


    I recently added the option of "open command window here" to my right click menu in Windows 10.
    My windows version is 1909 ,build is 18363.535.

    Before that, after right clicking, on my keyboard, I used to type 'w', then 'f' to create a new folder. This habit I've developed over a long course of time and it's so snappy.

    Unfortunately, now when I press 'w' as a reflex action after right click to create a new folder, "open command window here" gets highlighted.

    Can I disable the option of the letter 'w' not highlighting "open command window here" ?

    I just tried that out, but by default the action keys were not underlined, so it was anyone's gess what would happen. So I enabled view of the underlines (settings>Ease of access>keyboard>change how KB...) and this is what I see:

    In my case, my own 'command window here' is called 'prompt', so its action letter is p. Hitting 'w' gets me Wiztree, but another w goes to 'new'. So in your case i would suggest trying to rename your command to avoid the 'w'. Whether I will ever get to learn to use keys like that is another thing. I have no idea if it is possible to change the order in which options are selected (note that some have no underlined character, eg 7zip, although in that case 7 does start to activate it - interesting...).

    Interesting. How do I rename my command?

    Another thing. Your right click menu says admin cmd, while mine says the default "open command window here". You've done customization. How did you do that?
