How to open a terminal quickly from a file explorer at a folder in Windows 7?

1. Hold Shift + Right Click the folder you want it opened on, and click "open command window here". That should do the trick!

OR

2. You can also type cmd into the Windows File Explorer address bar (use Ctrl+L to focus the address bar) and press Enter to open the shell.

You can type cmd in Windows Explorer's location bar (which you can edit with the keyboard shortcut Alt+D); it will open a terminal upon pressing Enter.

Personally I use a voice command in Dragon NaturallySpeaking that takes care of it:

Code:

Sub Main
    SendKeys "%d"
    Wait(0.1)
    SendKeys "cmd"
    Wait(0.1)
    SendKeys "{ENTER}"
End Sub

Press Ctrl+L. This will allow you to edit the location bar address of the file explorer. Type 'cmd' and press enter. This will open command prompt in current folder.
