How to enable "Open PowerShell Here" context menu in Windows 10

open_powershell_here.md

After checking multiple tutorials I had to take pieces from each of the following to get this to work on my Win10 system:

• https://www.howtogeek.com/165268/how-to-add-open-powershell-here-to-the-context-menu-in-windows/
• https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/60175-open-powershell-window-here-context-menu-add-windows-10-a.html

Basically it uses the steps from the first article, but under the background path from the second article. Neither article on its own worked for me.

Steps:

1. Open regedit and go to path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\background\shell.

2. Create new key powershellmenu.

3. Change the Default value of the powershellmenu key to Open in PowerShell. (or whatever)

4. Create new key command under powershellmenu.

5. Change the Default value of the command key to:

   C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command Set-Location -LiteralPath '%L'

6. Right-click on powershellmenu key and select Permissions, then set permissions to Full control for the Administrators group. (or whatever group/user)

Then try right-clicking in some folder and it should work.

I followed the instructions above and the powershell appears in right click menu but unfortunately this error message appear when I click on it.
any help ?

Follow this steps again, if any error come the. Reply i will help you.

powershell.exe -noexit -command Set-Location -literalPath '%V'

Which windows version are you using now?

I want to edit the default value of the command of powershell from registry, but I am getting "error cannot edit". See attached.

A helpful powershell script (pillaged from superuser) to accomplish the same thing:

'Directory',
'Directory\Background',
'Drive' | ForEach-Object {
  $Path = "Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\$_\shell\PowerShellHere";
  New-Item -Path $Path -Name 'command' -Force | Out-Null;
  Set-ItemProperty -Path "$Path\command" -Name '(default)' -Value 'PowerShell -NoExit -NoLogo -Command Set-Location "%V"';
  Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name '(default)' -Value 'PowerShell';
  Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name 'Icon' -Value "${Env:WinDir}\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe,0";
}

(remember to run as admin)

This is great, but it's opening PowerShell 5 instead of the new PowerShell 7, can anyone guide me on what to change in the reg key so it opens ProgramFiles\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe instead of System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe? The only path I found in the instructions above is for the icon.

I'm currently building a solution to this very thing. I'll try to remember to share when I'm done. It's crazy how much inaccurate information is out there on this topic lol

Just tested and the following script is working flawlessly for setting up right-click and SHIFT + right-click menus on both directories and attached storage devices for PowerShell 7:

#!/usr/bin/env pwsh
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# [ regedit-open-ps-here.ps1 ]
#
# Description:
#
#    A PowerShell script that will loop over the following registry entries:
#
#    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\ (right-click menu on directories)
#    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background (SHIFT + right-click menu on directories)
#    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive (right-click menu on attached storage devices)
#
#    ... and create new items that add an option to "Open PowerShell 7 Here"
#
#    NOTE: This script must be run as "Administrator" (because we're editing
#    the Windows Registry)
#
#    NOTE: This script sets up a right-click menu option for PowerShell 7, not
#    the older built-in version of PowerShell!

Use pwsh instead of ${Env:WinDir}\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe and Powershell 7 will be launched instead. Works for me

Mine also worked with '%V'.

shift + right-click on folder works

@davecan You saved me man
I did create in the past this key, but it didn't work and I pretty much gave up(thanks microsoft)
but my mistake was that I created this key under /shell/ and not /Background/shell

Thanks man

I followed this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzNiD4WQQ1M

solved my issue

I found this page via Google. This is one of the first search results.
So... I wanted to start PS as administrator instead. I tried for an hour and ended up with this:

PowerShell -Command "Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs -ArgumentList '-NoExit', '-Command', 'Set-Location -LiteralPath \"%V\"'"

Here's a registry file for everyone. It adds the context entry everywhere. It adds the icon as well.
(Originally from WinaeroTweaker - but I didn't like that powershell was running "inside" CMD.exe)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\OpenElevatedPS]

i changed it to "%v" and it does not work.

Don't know what to tell you. Update your software, maybe? Or did you forget the "/", slashs?
I'm using windows 10 pro. Newest everything, afaik. Shouldn't have any effect on this, though.

ok i do have to update then

Ugh. Something broke and I had make all commands again...

Here are the regs for when you use

WINDOWS TERMINAL and POWERSHELL 7 (pwsh.exe) , and NOTEPAD++ because "edit" entries.

Features:

• Open command prompt here, /as administrator
• Run as user / Run as admininstrator
• Edit with Notepad++ instead
• Correct icons used. (Apart from edit)
