How to open a Command Prompt at any folder

Commad Prompt

If you often use the command console then you will like this interesting trick! When you open the command prompt the default path that opens up is your user folder, for instance: C:\Users\John>. If you open it as an administrator then the path would be: C:\Windows\system32> [C: is the system drive here]. We can change the path by the CD command. But with this trick we can easily open up the command prompt console at a desired path. To do this:

Hold down the Shift key and right-click a folder, then choose "Open command window here" from the context menu that appears. (Note that this tip doesn't work in the Documents folder.)
