Powertoys: Cmd (or PS / Bash / Terminal) from here

[ipndmr1]

Definitely a useful tool. Some things have to be done from the command-line & being able to right-click and choose "Cmd (or PS or Bash) from here" to drop-in and execute some code is an awesome feature that I miss from the past.

Have you tried typing cmd in the address bar of explorer? Go to a folder - replace the folder name with cmd - you get a command prompt at that folder

I hadn’t tried that – that works.

The PowerToys crew needs to duplicate Classic Shell into PowerToys. One of the components of Classic Shell is Classic Explorer, which adds a toolbar similar to what Windows XP had, but which is much more configurable. I have a cmd here icon, a bash here icon, and a cmd here as administrator icon in every Explorer window. The cmd here as administrator uses Nirsoft's nircmd tool; Classic Explorer easily incorporates such things.

If you hold shift and right click you can get 'Open Powershell from here' and 'Open Linux shell from here'.

Thanks, Craig. I’m missing the Unix shell option, but I do see PowerShell option.

To see the 'Open Linux Shell here' option you need to have the Windows Subsystem for Linux installed.

This is what I have done on the background and folder via the registry ie put an icon and put at the bottom using the string "position" = "Bottom"

Great tip – I’ll set that up on mine, too.

with the work for the launcher (#44) we'll have terminal related settings, this could be something we could roll in to that. Have the settings in general and then in a file explorer setting, we add this in to enable / disable
