The fastest way to open cmd in current folder by shortcut (windows 8/10)?
I used to Shift + mouse right click
to open cmd in current folder.
It is the fastest way I think, there are some relate solution in superuser:
In how-can-i-open-a-command-prompt-in-current-folder-with-a-keyboard-shortcut
-
Shift + Menu(or Shift + F10), W, Enter
need enter 4 key, and type 3 time.(I think it worked on all windows(at least from 7 to 10 I have tested)
The AHK way. You just need to press Win + C (please see detail in above question), but you need install
ANK
, paste script and set it in windows startup.
Is there any easier and faster way to do such thing in Windows 10?
Solution 1:
Another Default All Keyboard Method
Once in the current folder with Windows Explorer, press ALT+D, type in CMD
and press Enter
CAUTION: Issues with ALT + F + P (and other methods)
The This PC, Quick Access, and other special views in File Explorer is the real issue
-
It seems if you open Windows Explorer\File Explorer and by default it opens This PC then the Open command prompt option is grayed out and actually pressing the P key at this point does nothing if this is the case. This seems to be an issue for other File Explorer special views as well such as Quick Access.
-
When pressing ALT+D, typing in
CMD
and pressed Enter when on This PC (and Quick Access) via File Explorer, it opens up the command prompt in theC:\WINDOWS\system32
directory.
Solution 2:
There only need three key in windows 8/10:
Alt + F, P
Just three key and type twice , without help of another program.
For somenoe feedback that shortcut not work:
I would show you how to find the correct key here
note: my system lang is Chinese, but layout is same, you wouldn't miss it.
-
You need open a folder
Note:
Open command prompt
option may be grayed out at some place, thanks for @PIMP_JUICE_IT's answer, click to see detail..You need enter a real folder, special folder such as
Favorite
would not work, because it doesn't have a real path, I have a try and find:green folder is not real folder(shortcut not work), but folder in red zone is Ok
-
press and hold Alt, you would see the hotkey of
File Button
(top left window)It is F in my system.
F
maybe different in you system, just replace it. -
Hold Alt + F(replace F with Your system File key) , you would see the hotkey mark too.
P is
cmd
shortcut here(replace P with the Your system cmd key you see)
Then just do:
Alt + Your system File key, Your system cmd key
PS: If still not work, please check you shortcut binding, there must be some program take the control.
