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.

A shell (if I may ask, please) is a sign of advancement, sophistication, an efficient way of working... Just ask our junior employees, fresh from the University. They know - truth can't be argued, you know - that GUIs, and Windows in particular, is for amateurs, not for professionals. Editing a 7-bit ASCII configuration file (where you have to use escape codes for any character outside ASCIII and names with spaces are forbidden) in vi is just so much simpler and more efficient than having to grab a mouse to check that little square. Besides, that label on the check box wastes a lot of screen space telling me things I already know ...
... OK, I am exaggregating a litte bit. But only a tiny little bit. There is a constant battle here between these young, "advanced", newly-educated Linux fans who scorn at primitive, consumer oriented GUIs. Hey, we are professionals! We use professional tools! We write shell scripts, not for cmd.exe or powershell, we use professional shells like bash or sh! ... Essentially, we use Windows based tools, but these guys insist that bash shell scripts are perfectly fine, even though (or mayby even because) they enforce case sensitivity and rename environment variables so that they have the same casing (and in some cases: name) as is common in a Linux environment.
And then they start whining about those Windows users who are so unwilling to learn how to do things the proper way in a Linux environment...

Aah, yes, but I was only advocating the more modern and advanced Windows (and now Linux too) shell over the old and primitive DOS-based one usually called a Command Prompt.

More: you can actually execute whatever you please like a "run" command. Try it with a ping!

Typing 'cmd' in the address bar only opens up the command prompt to my "Windows" directory. If you have a folder on a file-share, it recognizes the location, does not support it, and defaults the 'cmd' prompt window to the "Windows" directory. It's still a quick way to open a 'cmd' prompt. Thanks.

Holy cow! Why hasn't this made all the popular lists of important Windows tips before?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

If you want to have Zen++: rm -rf .*

If you wish to do the reverse (open a Explorer window focused on the current directory from a command prompt):
start .
