Add “PowerShell Here” and “Command Window Here” to right click menu for drives, folders, and current...
I've tried applying and editing the .reg files, for example, here and here
But can't seem to get a "PowerShell Here" and "Command Window" here option in all right click menus without holding Shift for some.
Is there a way to add these to every right click menu (i.e., a drives, folders, and white space within a folder) with a single .reg file?
This question is different form this one
in that I am also including right clicking in the white space of a currently opened folder (not just clicking directly on a folder or drive).

Yes there is. There must be. I remember having something set this up for me in Windows 95, and I wish it was easier to set these up yourself nowadays.

Possible duplicate of Can I add a Windows Explorer context menu option to start command prompt in the selected directory? See my answer there. The Extended verb should not be present in any of the 3 locations, i.e. Drive, Directory and DirectoryBackground.

"This question is different form this one" - No it isn't. Read my answer there carefully. Your use case is handled as well (I also mentioned it explicitly in my comment above). You mentioned 3 context menus; I mentioned 3 registry keys. Is this so hard to correlate?

Check that string value "extended" is either renamed or removed to turn of 'shift' requirement,
As for the other thing, add a string value named "NoWorkingDirectory"
This will allow both to appear even when no folder was clicked upon,

Possible duplicate of Can I add a Windows Explorer context menu option to start command prompt in the selected directory? See my answer there. The Extended verb should not be present in any of the 3 locations, i.e. Drive, Directory and DirectoryBackground.

"This question is different form this one" - No it isn't. Read my answer there carefully. Your use case is handled as well (I also mentioned it explicitly in my comment above). You mentioned 3 context menus; I mentioned 3 registry keys. Is this so hard to correlate?
