Open command window here windows 10

Если вам требуется запустить командную строку Windows не просто с правами (от имени) администратора, а открыть её при этом в текущей папке, то далее рассмотрим, как это сделать.

Командную строку от имени администратора в Windows 10 можно запустить одним из нескольких способов, а если же требуется просто открыть её в текущей папке, то достаточно ввести: «cmd → нажать Enter» в адресной строке проводника, чтобы командная строка открылась именно в той папке, которая вам нужна (узнать подробнее), но в этом случае она будет запущена с правами пользователя, а это не совсем то что надо. Ведь иногда, для запуска команды с определённым параметром, требуется открыть командную строку в текущей папке именно от имени администратора, как, например, в этом случае (см. как заблокировать установку браузера Edge на базе Chromium в Windows 10 c помощью Blocker Toolkit).

Для того, чтобы запустить командную строку именно от имени администратора в текущей папке (применимо к последней версии Windows 10 1909) можно воспользоваться штатными возможностями проводника Windows, или же, внеся небольшую правку в системный реестр Windows 10, добавить новый пункт в контекстное меню операционной системы, который позволит быстро открывать командную строку с правами администратора там, где это необходимо.

Запуск в текущей папке через Windows PowerShell

Ранее (до Windows 10 1703) командную строку от имени администратора можно было запустить, используя меню «Файл» проводника, в последних же версиях Windows 10 эта возможность была упразднена. Однако всё прекрасно работает и через Windows PowerShell:

Как добавить возможность запуска командной строки от имени администратора в контекстное меню Windows 10

Вы можете внести небольшую правку в системный реестр (предварительно сделайте его резервную копию). В результате в контекстном меню Windows 10, которое можно вызвать кликом правой кнопки мыши, появится новый пункт «Командная строка (Администратор)».

Что для этого потребуется:

• Скачайте файл «open_command_window_here_as_administrator.reg»;

Скачать

На этом всё. Теперь, когда вы кликните правой кнопкой мыши, у вас будет доступ к новому пункту контекстного меню «Командная строка (Администратор)».

С его помощью вы сможете быстро запустить командную строку от имени администратора в текущей папке или на рабочем столе.

Кстати, название пункта «Командная строка (Администратор)» вы можете поменять на любое другое, которое вам нравится больше.

Для этого достаточно открыть файл open_command_window_here_as_administrator.reg с помощью любого текстового редактора (штатного блокнота Windows 10 или, например, Notepad plus plus).

In the recent versions of Windows 10 (Creators Update and higher), the “Open Command Prompt here” context menu entry has been removed and is replaced by “Open PowerShell window here”.

Microsoft, in an effort to bring the best command line experiences to the forefront for all power users, has made PowerShell the de facto command shell.

This article tells you how to add “Open command window here” to right-click menu in Windows 10. Optionally, you can also remove the Open PowerShell window here from the context menu.

You may also be knowing that since the preview build 14971, “Command Prompt” and “Command Prompt (Admin)” entries in the Win+X menu (the menu which appears when you right-click Start) were replaced with PowerShell links.

Although you can run the old commands in the PowerShell window, you need to use the “.exe” suffix when running certain commands. For instance, running the “SC” command under the PowerShell window gives different results than what you get when running the same command from a regular Command Prompt shell.

“SC” is understood as the alias for “Set-Content” PowerShell cmdlet. So to manage services using the SC (SC.EXE) command in the PowerShell window, you’ll need to type the file extension — .EXE. Whereas the regular Command Prompt (CMD.exe) shell knows SC is nothing but SC.EXE, assuming no file of the same name and with a .COM extension exists in the path.

Add Command Prompt to the Context menu

If you’re fond of the old Command Prompt (cmd.exe), you can add the traditional “Open Command window here” option back in the context menu for file system folders and drives, using a Registry edit.

Method 1

This method creates a new menu item named “Open command window here” by adding the necessary context menu registry entries.

1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy the following lines and paste them in Notepad:

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmdprompt]
   @="@shell32.dll,-8506"
   "NoWorkingDirectory"=""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmdprompt\command]
   @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmdprompt]
   @="@shell32.dll,-8506"
   "NoWorkingDirectory"=""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmdprompt\command]
   @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmdprompt]
   @="@shell32.dll,-8506"
   "NoWorkingDirectory"=""
   
   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmdprompt\command]
   @="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""
   

3. Save the file as “cmdhere.reg“
4. Double-click the file to apply the settings to the registry.

Alternately, you can download the following registry file:

• Download cmd-here-windows-10.zip

This adds the “Open command window here” option to the right-click menu for folders and drives, which, when clicked, opens a Command Prompt window at the current drive or directory path.

To have the Command Prompt context menu icon, apply the cmd-here-windows-10-with-icon.reg file included in the zip file.

Additional Tip: Add “Open command window here” as an extended menu

If you want to show the “Open command window here” as an extended or hidden menu (to reduce clutter), use this registry file instead:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmdprompt]
@="@shell32.dll,-8506"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""
"Extended"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmdprompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmdprompt]
@="@shell32.dll,-8506"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmdprompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmdprompt]
@="@shell32.dll,-8506"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""
"Extended"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmdprompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

An “extended” menu appears only when you press and hold the Shift key when right-clicking on a folder or drive.

Method 2

The “Open command window here” context menu registry entry still exists by default in Windows 10. But it’s been made inactive with a registry value named HideBasedOnVelocityId.

In this method, we change the HideBasedOnVelocityId registry value to 0 using the HKEY_CURRENT_USER override. This will enable the built-in and dormant “Open command window here” in the right-click menu.

1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy the following lines and paste them in Notepad:

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\cmd]
   "HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00000000
   "Icon"=hex(2):25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\
     00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,63,00,\
     6d,00,64,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,2c,00,30,00,00,00
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Drive\shell\cmd]
   "HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:00000000
   "Icon"=hex(2):25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\
     00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,63,00,\
     6d,00,64,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,2c,00,30,00,00,00
   

3. Save the file as “cmdhere2.reg“
4. Double-click the file to apply the settings to the registry.

That’s it. This enables the “Open command window here” context menu item (with icon) for directories and drives.

This method works only for the current user account — i.e., per-user account basis.

(For the Windows 11 version of this article, check out the page How to Add “Open command window here” Option in Windows 11.)

When you open the command prompt by going to Run –> cmd, you will notice that by default, it opens in the user profile directory path. Sometimes, the user needs to open the command windows with the currently opened folder path. This article explains the exact scenario.

Command Prompt is the command-line which enables users to execute different programs and commands. Microsoft is slowly removing command prompt support from all its major Windows platforms. PowerShell is the alternative to Command Prompt which supports almost all the commands of DOS and much more. Some users still insist on using Command Prompt instead of PowerShell.

If the program you want to run in Command Prompt is not listed in the PATH variable, the Command Prompt will give you an error that it could not find the executable file. For this, we need to manually go to the folder where that particular program is located. One way of doing this is to type in the complete path of the file. Another way is to directly open the command prompt windows inside the folder. The second approach is more visual and easy to implement.

Pro Tip: If you are using Windows 10, just open the folder and go to File menu –> Open Windows PowerShell. You also have the option to open Windows PowerShell as Administrator.

In this article, we will discuss different techniques by which we can open command windows in a folder, the most popular being “Open Command Windows Here” context menu item. Let’s start.

Add Open Command Window Here to the context menu using Registry Editor

1. Click Windows + R then type regedit. This will open Windows Registry editor.
   
2. Registry editor window will open. After that go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Further go into Directory\shell\cmd
   
3. and right click Permissions. The following window will appear.
   
   
4. Then click on the Advanced option.
   
5. After that, click on change at the top of the window
   
6. Type your username in “Enter the object name to select” and then click on the check name to validate that name.
   
7. Press Apply and then OK. When you are done with those Administrative modes in Group or user names of permissions for cmd window and tick Allow on Full control. Click Apply and then OK
   
8. Once you are done with it, click on HideBasedonVelocityID and rename it ShowBasedonVelocityId
   
9. Now when you click the Shift key and right click you will see the option “Open Command Window here“
   

This will permanently add “Open Command Window here” to the Windows Context menu. After editing the Registry, you will be able to open the command prompt by right clicking inside any folder and selecting “Open Command Window Here”.

Add Open Command Window Here using the REG file

This is basically the same method listed above. For your ease, we have created a REG file for all the actions mentioned above. You just have to download and run the REG file. It will automatically add the desired values inside the Windows Registry.

  Add Open Command Window Here to Context Menu.reg (304 bytes, 20,246 hits)

If the value does not come after running this file, please try restarting Windows Explorer or the computer.

Open Command Prompt In A Folder Using Keyboard Shortcut?

If you are in a hurry then this is the easiest method of opening Command Prompt inside the folder. Just follow the steps below:

1. Go to the required folder.
2. The press Shift + right click mouse button anywhere in the folder window.
3. Select the “Open command window here” option from the context menu.

Using CMD command in File Explorer to open Command Prompt Window

You can open a command prompt in any of your desired folder by using the file explorer location bar.

1. Go to your desired folder and click on the location bar of Windows Explorer.
2. Then type cmd and press Enter key.
3. The command prompt will be opened in the folder.
   

One drawback of this technique is that it will open the command prompt in the regular user privilege mode and not in the administrative mode. To open it in administrative mode:

Select Windows + R and type cmd.

Click Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just hitting enter to open the Command Prompt in administrative mode.

You can also open PowerShell window using the same technique. Just go to the folder and then type powershell in the File Explorer address bar. This will open PowerShell in the same folder location or path.

Add “Open Command Window Here” with Administrative privileges in the context menu

In order to “open Command Window here ” with administrative privileges you  can download the following file.

  Open Command Window Here (Administrator) to context menu.reg (215 bytes, 12,183 hits)

This will add a context menu option for the admin command prompt.

How to get back Command Prompt in Win+X menu?

In order to change the Windows Powershell options with Command Prompt go to Settings –> Personalization –> Taskbar.  After that turn off the option of “Replace Command Prompt with Windows Powershell Option in the menu when i right click the start button or press Windows key +X”.

The Command Prompt still remains an important part of Windows Operating System and using the methods discussed above, you will be able to make productive use of your time by using shortcuts. What is your favorite method of running command prompt without typing in the folder paths?
