Learned something new today. You can open a command prompt with current directory by typing cmd in address bar. No need to open cmd and then navigate to directory.

Ha! And I went to the trouble of adding "command prompt here" to the registry!

I put mine on the Quick Launch bar -- even with local admin rights.
Then I also wrote a little WinForms app that allows me to start a number of applications under a number of users.

Cool! I knew about the shift right-click but this is better. A little research, and some other contributions in this thread show that this is something that I can really use. Thanks!

Nice! Didn't know the shift+right click either.
Now I've got to try that rm -rf * from your signature

Ummmm... Ok, good luck with that!
You can't win.
You can't break even.
You can't quit.
You're welcome.

Wow - thanks for that tip - it's easier than shift-right-click and find "open cmd prompt here".

Or click on "File" in the ribbon - it has options to open a command prompt or Powershell, either elevated or not.

Mine doesn't. I wonder if that is an optional setting somewhere?

I haven't seen any related options - it just works: Explorer.png (15.4 KB)[^]
According to this post[^], it should be available in Windows 8 or higher.

Thanks. Learn something new every day.. OK, yeah, that's just ordinary in this profession, but I still appreciate the tip
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

What? Really? I never knew this. Wow. Thanks for the tip.

Command prompts are so Windows 95.
Typing Alt+F,S,R does the same but gives you a PowerShell admin console from your current directory in explorer. Alf+F,R does the same but without admin.
