Windows Explorer "Command Prompt Here" [closed]

Solution 1:

Hold Shift while Right-Clicking a blank space in the desired folder to bring up a more verbose context menu. One of the options is Open Command Window Here. This works in Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Since Windows 10 Creators Update, the option has been replaced with Open PowerShell Here. However, there are ways to enable Open Command Window Here again.

Solution 2:

Just type "cmd" to location bar, that's it. It will start a new command prompt in current path.

This solution was confirmed to work in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 (including Creators Update).

Keystrokes to move the focus to the location bar:

• AltD in English (pointed out by Tim Stewart in the comments)
• AltE in German

Solution 3:

Inside your current folder, simply press Shift+Alt+F --then--> Enter.

The prompt will appear with your current folder's path set.

Note: That works only in Windows 7 / Vista. What it does is that drops the "File" menu down for you, because the "Shift" key is pressed the option "Open command window here" is enabled and focused as the first available option of "File" menu. Pressing enter starts the focused option therefor the command window.

Edit:

In case you are in a folder and you already selected some of its contents (file/folder) this wont work. In that case Click on the empty area inside the folder to deselect any previously selected files and repeat.

Edit2:

Another way you can open terminal in current directory is to type cmd on file browser navigation bar where the path of current folder is written.

In order to focus with your keyboard on the navigation bar Ctrl+L. Then you can type cmd and hit Enter
