"Open Cmder Here" in context menu

To add an entry in the Windows Explorer context menu to open Cmder in a specific directory, paste this into a OpenCmderHere.reg file and double-click to install it.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Cmder]
    @="Open Cmder Here"
    "Icon"="\"%CMDER_ROOT%\\icons\\cmder.ico\",0"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Cmder\command]
    @="\"%CMDER_ROOT%\\Cmder.exe\" /START \"%v\""

Then add the Environment variable CMDER_ROOT to point to the path of your installation.

System Settings Environment Variable

After adding this, a restart of the explorer might be required to make it work.

Execute .\cmder.exe /REGISTER ALL If you get a message "Access Denied" ensure you are executing the command in an Administrator prompt.
