Open In Command Prompt Tweak

When you Right-Click an object, the context menu would appear whether it’s on the Desktop, Explorer, or a file. But there are still functions that are missing, there are ways to make it appear in your context menu. But I’ll show you an easier way to do it.

This tweak would add a “Open Command Prompt Here” to right click menu for every folder, once you click it, command prompt is opened, and has the path of the folder from where you clicked it.

Warning (Note to Self): Before you edit stuffs on your Windows Registry, Always Backup your registry to prevent any problems. please read this important information on editing the Windows Registry.

Fire up the Registry Editor by hitting the Windows Key+R, typing regedit. go look for this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Classes/Folder/shell

Once you’re at the shell key, right-click it and select New->Key. Name this new key Command Prompt.

Next, in the right plane, double click the (Default) value and name it whatever text you want to appear when you right-click on a folder - name it : Open Command Prompt — but you can put in anything depends on you but for ease of use and better reference just put there “Open In Command Prompt” just to be on the safe side.

Now, right-click the newly created Command Prompt key and create another new key. Name this new key Command.

In the right plane, double click the (Default) value and enter the following into the Value Data field:

Cmd.exe /k pushd %L

Note: The option wont appear when you right-click on a file - it only shows up when you right-click on a folder.

There you are kaboom you’re done no more hassles just a quick tweak and another useful tweak to adde to you context menu… right-click away my young one.
