Hi,
since the days of Windows NT, I use a tool that I have derived from Windows Power tool CmdHere.
For Vista I have CmdHere expanded to open CMD as admin and modified to operate with shift key. The tool can be installed via context menu and uninstalled via Control Panel. It makes sense to deactivate the entry by default contained in the context menu. This can be done by ShellMenuView. ShellMenuView can be found at
After some testing I realize it's suitable for Windows 10 also.
I think that this could be a contribution to the tutorials.
