title: Windows Explorer "Command Prompt Here"
body: <p>I frequently find myself with a folder open in Windows, wishing to have a command prompt open with the same working directory.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of Power Toys "Command Prompt", but that only works as a context menu item on the folder, and not from inside the folder if you are already there.  I know you can navigate to the parent directory, and use it from there, but if the parent has thousands of directories in it, this is not so convenient.  I have tried some home-brewed batch files associated with folder actions in explorer, but those suffer from similar problems.</p>
  
  <p>So, what is the quickest way to open a command prompt with a working directory of the current windows explorer folder?</p>
  
  <p>My current approach: (horrible)</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong><kbd>Alt</kbd> - <kbd>D</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> - <kbd>C</kbd></strong> (copy path)</li>
  <li><strong><kbd>Win</kbd> - <kbd>R</kbd>, "cmd", <kbd>Enter</kbd></strong> (start command prompt)</li>
  <li><strong>"cd", <kbd>Space</kbd></strong> (start a change directory command)</li>
  <li><strong><kbd>Alt</kbd> - <kbd>Space</kbd>, <kbd>e</kbd>, <kbd>p</kbd></strong> (paste directory)</li>
  <li><strong><kbd>Enter</kbd></strong> (execute change directory)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I know there is something better!  What is it?</p>
