This adds a "Windows Terminal Here" command to the context menu.

Works both on a folder and inside a folder.

How to

  1. Download the Windows Terminal icon ↗ and place it somewhere.
    The code above assumes you'll add it to C:\Users\{YOUR_USER_NAME}\AppData\Local\terminal\terminal.ico

  2. Download wt.reg and open it.

  3. Windows will ask you to confirm:

  4. Confirm by clicking "Yes" - you will get a confirmation that the values have been successfully added to the Windows Registry.

You should now see "Windows Terminal Here" in your Windows Explorer context menu.
