- grosswait 7y agoThey acknowledge this and include the same link in the readme linked by OP
- slovenlyrobot 7y agoCommand Prompt Here was a mandatory install, forgot all about it!
- userbinator 7y agoIt's a simple enough registry edit that I've memorised it and apply it to all the machines (including VMs) I work with. HKCU\*\shell\Command Prompt Here\command = %WINDIR%\system32\cmd.exe
- quietbritishjim 7y agoOn modern Windows it's built in, you just hold ctrl+shift (actually I think just shift will do) as you right click.
- Tempest1981 7y agoI think you can also click on the address bar in Explorer, and type "cmd" or "powershell". Even "bash" if you install WSL.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoWith Alt+D to focus the address bar, this is super convenient. I use it all the time.
- WorldMaker 7y agoCommand Prompt Here is also directly in the File menu of Windows 10's File Explorer's ribbon. Alt+F,R is the shortcut. (File Explorer's ribbon follows your Win+X setting that if you have PowerShell your default, that shows up instead of classic Command Prompt.)
- userbinator 7y agoThat's not as convenient as being able to do it without syncing with the keyboard and with anything selected --- if you do it on a file, it will open in the directory the file is in.
