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.

It works for any exe reachable through the path. I use it for quite a few things.

Or you can shift-right click and open a cmd right there

Now you are making me more lazy...

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".

Why o why are those things never documented ? They have pages of unnecessary documentation about more unnecessary things, and those things are NEVER documented. 
Thanks !

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...
