How to add Command Prompt to the Right Click Menu of Windows

By dwarkarao

Like every other tweak, this trick is also meant to reduce the time consumed by the people who need to access the command prompt on the right click menu of the desktop. So instead of launching the command prompt from the RUN button in START menu, you can directly launch it from the right-click menu on the desktop.

Below are the steps:

1. Open a .txt file (Notebook file)

2. Copy the below lines in that .txt file and save it as “cmd.reg”

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt]
@="Command Prompt:"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\Command]
@="cmd.exe /k cd %1"
NOTE: Make sure that you save the file including the inverted comas (“)

3. Now, once you double click on the files, it enters into the registry and you can find the command prompt on the right click menu on the desktop.

That is it.
