Hi, today I'll show you my favorite tiny tips for Windows.
Usually we use "right click" and see some context menu like this:
This right click context menu is editable by regedit.exe.
At this time I'll recommend some tips I use so many times.
CMD.EXE HERE
Do you wanna open cmd.exe and change directory HERE? I do!!
Here is the two source code:
(directory and directory background)
directory
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell\cmd-here]
@="CMD.EXE HERE"
"Icon"="cmd.exe"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell\cmd-here\command]
@="cmd.exe /K \"cd /d %1\""
directory background
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\background\shell\cmd-here]
@="CMD.EXE HERE"
"Icon"="cmd.exe"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\background\shell\cmd-here\command]
@="cmd.exe /K \"cd /d %v\""
Just open cmd.exe and cd %1(or %v argument), easy enough?
To install it, you can download any *.reg file from this repository:

COPY PATH
Next, "COPY PATH" context menu.
Here is the three source code:
(file, directory and directory background)
file
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\copy-path]
@="COPY PATH"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\copy-path\command]
@="cmd.exe /c \"(echo.|set /p=\"%1\")|clip\""
directory
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell\copy-path]
@="COPY PATH"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shell\copy-path\command]
@="cmd.exe /c \"(echo.|set /p=\"%1\")|clip\""
directory background
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\background\shell\copy-path]
@="COPY PATH"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\background\shell\copy-path\command]
@="cmd.exe /c \"(echo.|set /p=\"%v\")|clip\""
Conclusion
"CMD.EXE HERE" and "COPY PATH" are so useful when you develop on Windows machine.
I'm very happy if you use these useful tips :)

Perfect timing. I just put together a new computer and I've missed the CMD Prompt feature I had installed on my last machine. I meant to go looking for it and it came to me....Thanks Much
Awesome, great tips! Definitely going to play with editing
regedit.exe.Thanks Andy!
And you can customize any registered executables! :)
Hey Shiono! Just wanted to share that you can embed github repos with this syntax:
{% github https://github.com/saltyshiomix/tiny-pro-tips-for-windows %}Thank you for letting me know!
I'ts so nice to use, I remember it :)
that cmdExeHere is not needed :) just go to explorer -> open folder where you want your cmd -> go to navigation of cmd -> type
cmdOh I don't know that!!
Thank you for letting me know :)
(But may be legacy Windows like Win7, that navigation is not supported, yet)
I year use my tuned version of Total Commander and theese functions are implemented there as well :)
