Windows 10 How to Open Command Prompt in Current Folder or Directory

This video will show you how to open the Windows command prompt in the current folder in Windows 10.

There are two methods for opening the command prompt. The first method is changing in newer versions of Windows 10 to open Powershell, but the second method will always open command prompt.

The first method is to open the folder where you need the command prompt. Then, right click in the window and select the Open Command Window here (in newer versions may be Open Powershell here).

The second method is to clear the folder structure bar at the top, and type in CMD, then hit enter. This will open the command prompt (and not Powershell) in the current directory.

Thank you. You are an absolute legend, brother. I didn't have any options to open cmd after right clicking in the folder, but you showed me an alternative in the search bar which worked perfectly! One like for you!

The first one hasn't existed for me in forever. That second option was an eye-opener! Thanks!

First of all, I didn't even know shift + right click was a thing. Second of all, YOU'RE A WIZARD! THANK YOU!

Powershell actually didn't let me merge and move files as Command Prompt does. That 2nd method worked amazingly. Thanks so much

THANK YOU!!! Been trying to do this for the last half a bloody hour! I'm trying to run a script that specifically needs CMD rather than Power Shell and I was getting absolutely zero love from M$'s help pages.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK

Thanks genius for providing simple and best solution 🤗
