Windows 10: Open command window here - Add in Windows 10

Hello TG2, *Smile

The tutorial has already been updated to use "cmd2".

You can use the tutorial below to remove from the Open PowerShell window here context menu.

Yeah, thats Right Click Context .. the 2nd or 3rd post down in the beginning of the thread asked about adding or changing in the *File* menu of explorer (er.. "FileExplorer" as it is in the registry)


I should've been more specific than the "Alt+F" for File menu. Sorry *Sad

And I don't begrudge people that like or want powershell .. just that I don't need it most of the time, I need command prompt.

All I can see is microsoft's insistence on forcing garbage changes on people ... I mean seriously .. do you want the average 'just-to-dangerous-user' getting into power shell and going off half cocked toward something they thought they understood but really didn't?

< sigh > *Sad

 

Yeah, I still haven't been able to find a way to modify the File (Alt+F) menu yet. *Sad

 

I've found you can simply enter "cmd" in PowerShell to run a (nested) MS-DOS prompt session. Also fonts colors will turn to white to notify this. Best workaround for me ATM.

P.S.
You can quit MS-DOS session and go back to PowerShell with "exit" of course... Or quick-quit this shell window with Alt+F4.

 

WIN Key + R, CMD, enter.

That's never going away......

 

Using menu File > Open Windows PowerShell (or Open command window here with RMB as described in this guide) will open the prompt in current folder path. It's different from just opening MS-DOS prompt with Execute Command...

 

Correct. Was only pointing out another option. Choices are always good.

 

also unfortunately, it doesn't give the option to open as administrator. The run dialog box use to have a "will run as administrator" or some such wording, but even then it didn't trigger UAC which is the only proof I'd have I'd be going into elevated mode ...

 

@TG2
Yep... you can always run PowerShell from File menu as admin and enter "cmd"...
(SFC /? is a good command to test if you actually have admin rights)

 

Hi Brink,

Have you found a way to make this also open with admin rights?

Thank you for the quick reply *Smile

The registry tweak is awesome, however, I was wondering if there is something that can be done without tweaking the registry on every device I support to get this option -- Perhaps even something like a self-elevation command, similar to the sudo in the Linux terminal.

Any ideas? *Smile

 

I'm afraid I don't know about that.

 

Then I will keep on looking! my "C" and "D" keys are wearing out

 

hi Brink, thank you for your help.
I decided to add cmd with rClick & cmd/adm with shift-rClick.
Both worked like a charm after translated them.
