Vscode: Enable "code ." to be entered on the Windows 10 Windows Explorer address bar

[mwherman2000]

Enable "code ." to be entered on the Windows 10 Windows Explorer address bar and have vscode open the currently displayed directory path.

For example, entering "cmd" in the Windows Explorer address bar will open the Command Prompt with its cwd set to Windows Explorer's currently displayed directory path. Why can't vscode work the same way?

Best regards,

Bonus request: Entering "code anysubfolder" should open the folder "anysubfolder" in Windows Explorer's currently displayed directory path (if it exists)

For me, I can open "code ." from address bar by adding new path in system env variable
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code.

It will open vscode for current directory. Make sure the where command display code.exe at the top

$ where code
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd

Alternatively, you could type code.cmd . instead to open up VS Code in that file directory.
The only backdrop is that it opens an empty cmd shell in the background.
Inferring from the behaviour, I think it is equivalent to opening a cmd in that directory and running code . in it.
