powertoys Windows 7 replacement
There are no longer any "Official" Power Toys.
The Open Command Windows Here option is there by default if you press Shift whilst right clicking on a folder.
However, to add the Open Command Window Here context menu without having to press Shift, do the following:
- Open up the Registry Editor (Press Windows Flag+R and type
Regedit) - Navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd - Delete the "REG_SZ" entry called "Extended"
(You can also repeat this for the entry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\drive\shell\cmd)
It should now appear.
The "Open Command Window Here" functionality is now built in.
Hold Shift then right click over the folder. The "Command prompt" option should now appear on the context menu.
I can't double check the exact wording of the option as I'm back using XP at the moment
