how to launch a cmd exe at current working directory with shortcut?

Question

My OS is Win7. When I need to open a cmd.exe at current working directory, I will press "shift" key and right click the screen and I will get "Open command window here". Is there any faster way?

Answer 1

No, that's the fastest way... Doing it with a keyboard would be longer than doing it with the mouse.

Answer 2

You could script it. This AutoHotkey script opens a command window on the folder you're currently browsing by pressing Ctrl + Alt + H:

#IfWinActive ahk_class CabinetWClass ; for use in explorer.
^!h::
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll
Send !d
Sleep 10
Send ^c
Run, cmd /K "cd `"%clipboard%`""
Clipboard := ClipSaved
ClipSaved =
return
#IfWinActive
