Most power users know this already, but I’ve noticed that a surprising number of “Average Joes” do not: if you’re using File Explorer (or Windows Explorer, as it’s known in older versions of Windows) and you want to open a command prompt at that particular location, all you have to do is type CMD+Enter in the address bar:

![cmd_shortcut_03](https://i0.wp.com/jimcofer.com/personal/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/cmd_shortcut_03.png?resize=525%2C300)
It also works for powershell. What is used way more by power users these days.
