Editor's review
The Windows Command prompt is still widely used by many advanced users for a variety of reasons. While Microsoft seems in an apparent hurry to cut back on its prominence, the necessity for using the command prompt still exists in many cases. However the software behemoth is not the only one who you will find discouraging the use of the entity, as system administrators in offices too like to hate them. Typically they do not provide you with administrative rights to launch the command prompt. However with the help of Open Command Prompt Here 2.5 you can initiate the command prompt with or without admin rights at any place of your directory structure.
The Open Command Prompt Here 2.5 once installed can be asked to run at a place of your choice by right clicking on any folder. Essentially it gets attached as an option on the Windows explorer right click menu. When you launch it you get the choice to run it with admin privileges. Once the command mode shows up you can perform any tasks that you want, say ping any website. This useful shell extension also help you avoid the effort you have to make to move into a specific folder directory in the command mode as you can launch it from any location. Incidentally the application can be pinned to the taskbar and called upon in just one click. The software has a very limited file size and barely consumes any system resources to run. Moreover it works with both 32 bit Windows iteration and the latest 64 bit versions too, including the Windows 8 operating system.
The Open Command Prompt Here 2.5 earns a score of three ratings stars owing to its overall usability and comes across as boon for experienced Windows users.
