Open Command Prompt with Right Click

If you don’t have any shortcut on desktop, quick launch icon or hotkey set to open a command prompt quickly, there is a really interesting trick so that you can open command prompt quickly and easily without even having to navigate the menu. You can do it on any Windows 7 or Vista computer to open a command prompt.

Just hold down the Shift key and right-click on the desktop…

 
And then you can choose “Open Command Window Here” from the menu. The great thing about this is that the current path is the desktop, which is convenient for manipulating files on the desktop.

 
Similarly it can work to open the command prompt from any path. Suppose you are working inside network mafia folder and want to open command prompt with current path as showing network mafia then just hold shift key while pressing right click on free space and select “Open command prompt here”

 
If you are working inside network mafia folder and want to open command prompt with showing current path as folder which one is present inside the network folder without opening that folder, just select that folder and press right click while holding shift key.

 

Note: It would also work while you are working on someone’s computer using a CrossLoop session to remotely fix a computer.
