Run CMD/PowerShell in current location?

Post by amazingbollweevil »

Sometimes it's just easier to use a DOS command, but Windows always opens CMD at the default location. I'd like to use XYplorer to navigate to my files and run the DOS window from there. How do I do this?

I see people posting about running DOS commands as part of their scripts, but I want to start with something much more basic!

Whoa! I swear I did search for the command prompt option, but there was no way I would have found it without your instructions. Much obliged!
