NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/02/09/wi...rompt-anywhere/ The command prompt here power toy was a feature that a lot of users requested be built-in to Windows 7. Microsoft listened, and added it to a secondary context menu. By holding shift and right-clicking a folder, you'll see additional commands not listed on the standard menu, such as open in new process, copy as path, and open command window here. Suppose you need a command window with elevated privileges. Then what? In Windows Vista, it could be done through the start menu by typing cmd into the search box and holding shift+control and hitting enter. This works in Windows 7 as well. Combine the two, and you've got a right-click elevated command window shortcut: shfit+control+right click on a folder and choose open command window. Check your title bar: if it starts with Administrator, you're set! Some other sites have posted registry hacks to add a context menu entry for the admin option, but why bother? It's already there - just hidden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
