Context menu integration

Note! If you wish to avoid manually fiddling with your registry, use the instructions in the README to setup a Shortcut to open Cmder in a chosen folder.

"Open Cmder Here" in context menu

To add an entry in the Windows Explorer context menu to open Cmder in a specific directory, paste this into a OpenCmderHere.reg file and double-click to install it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Cmder]
@="Open Cmder Here"
"Icon"="\"%CMDER_ROOT%\\icons\\cmder.ico\",0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Cmder\command]
@="\"%CMDER_ROOT%\\Cmder.exe\" /START \"%v\""

Then press the Windows + Pause keys to open the System Settings, go to Advanced Settings and add the Environment variable CMDER_ROOT to point to the path of your installation.

After adding this, a restart of the explorer is required to make it work.

Settings

The registration of the context menu items is also possible through Settings / Integration.
