    Learned something new today. You can open a command prompt with current directory by typing cmd in address bar. No need to open cmd and then navigate to directory.

    It works for any exe reachable through the path. I use it for quite a few things.

          I put mine on the Quick Launch bar -- even with local admin rights. Then I also wrote a little WinForms app that allows me to start a number of applications under a number of users.

            Cool! :thumbsup: I knew about the shift right-click but this is better. A little research, and some other contributions in this thread show that this is something that I can really use. Thanks! :)

              Nice! Didn't know the shift+right click either. Now I've got to try that rm -rf * from your signature :D

                Wow - thanks for that tip - it's easier than shift-right-click and find "open cmd prompt here". Marc

                          Or click on "File" in the ribbon - it has options to open a command prompt or Powershell, either elevated or not.

                                Thanks. Learn something new every day.. OK, yeah, that's just ordinary in this profession, but I still appreciate the tip :)

                                      Command prompts are so Windows 95. Typing Alt+F,S,R does the same but gives you a PowerShell admin console from your current directory in explorer. Alf+F,R does the same but without admin.
