OpenWithCMD

There are many situations when you need to open an application or access a directory from the command-line, but opening Command Prompt and navigating to a certain location is slower than many users would like.

OpenWithCMD is a tiny application that comes with a quick solution – it adds a new option to the right-click menu, enabling you to open any folder in the command-line without using the extended context menu.

Once you’ve unpacked the archive, you can add the new option to the context menu by just running the installer. The process will be completed instantly, and you will find the “Open with CMD” option when right-clicking in any directory.

To revert the changes made to the context menu, you just have to run the uninstaller. The option will be removed instantly, and a confirmation message will be displayed.

There isn’t much else to say about this utility, aside from the fact that it makes it a lot easier to access directories with the command console if you prefer not to use the extended context menu.

For Windows 10 users, this program can be particularly helpful, as it again makes it possible to open folders in Command Prompt, an option that was removed from the extended context menu to get users to rely on PowerShell instead.

In the end, OpenWithCMD isn’t a revolutionary application by any means, but it provides users with a handy alternative method of opening folders in Command Prompt. It can be particularly useful for Windows 10 users who want to access directories from the command-console and prefer not to use PowerShell.
