I came across this little trick on tripledot.be and thought I’d share it here, too.

I’ve been using the Shift + Right-click > Open command window here shortcut for years, but there isn’t such a link for starting PowerShell in the same fashion. Or so I thought…

As it turns out, you can do it by simply typing powershell into the address bar and pressing enter. It’s as simple as that!

Browse to a folder

Type powershell, press Enter

Job’s a good’n!

This also works for a regular command prompt by typing cmd instead. Makes you wonder what else there could be hidden away…
