Generally amateur programmers (may be java programmer, c or c++ programmer) or computer users open command prompt from Run or from the start menu. Its such a long process always opening cmd.exe from run or accessories and changing to the desired directory for compiling the files or for doing their work.

  3. A window will pop up saying "Are you sure you want to add information in C:\cmd open here.reg to the registry?" click Yes.
  4. After that just right click on any folder from where you want to open the Command Prompt logged on to that folder.
