There is a need to quickly open the current directory from the command prompt.
I know that there is a command explorer.
But to enter the full path to the directory is very inconvenient.
For example:
exoplorer c:\progra~1\nodejs~1\worskp~1\project\module\convert
It works. But is that the faster you can open the folder with the mouse ... I think it's not right.
And this command:
explorer cd.
Opens My Documents. Although I am in a different directory.
Whether prompt me please!
You can try:
start .
or
explorer .
. is a shortcut for current directory.
In PowerShell command prompt:
ii .
ii is a shortcut for Invoke-Item.
Just to add to the answers above (tested on windows 10)
Open current directory
explorer .
explorer ...
explorer ....
explorer .......
start .
start ...
start ....
start ........
Open subfolder of current directory
start .\subfolder
explorer .\subfolder
Open the parent directory of current directory
explorer ..
start ..
Navigate to another folder from the parent directory
start ..\another-folder
explorer ..\another-folder
Create a batch file (eg. c:\somepath\q.bat) with this line:
explorer .
Add it to your path (example shown will only work in the current console, add it to your System Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables to make it work anywhere):
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\somepath
Then open a command window and type
q
Then it should open the fastest way.
just append cmd in the beginning of the address bar in windows.
for eg: if you're at [C:\foo\bar] just type cmd [cmd C:\foo\bar] and hit enter. this will open a terminal at C:\foo\bar for you.
You can do like this:
