I saw this great post a few days ago about adding a  Open Powershell context menu entry using regedit. I thought it was really cool, but quickly decided why not create it using POWERSHELL!!!

I should note, you need to have powershell running as an admin for this…


New-PSDrive -Name HKCR -PSProvider Registry -Root HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

new-item -path HKCR:directory/shell/powershell
new-item -path HKCR:directory/shell/powershell/command
set-item -path HKCR:directory/shell/powershell -value "Open PowerShell Here"
set-item -path HKCR:directory/shell/powershell/command -value "C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command Set-Location -LiteralPath '%L'"

Here is what it looks like when it is all said and done
This is was also great for me but I am still learning powershell, especially the registry stuff, so it was just good practice for a quick script.
