Default Efficient Windows Admin command prompt of any color in any desired location

green screen retro is the only one for me.


Hi John Kerr-Mudd,
I don't get jokes ... I've never gotten them.
I'm all facts, and only facts. So I appreciate that explanation.

Here, by the way, are the three color schemes side by side...

The actual color scheme didn't matter anyway as what was important was the
fact that an admin window should stand apart on sight, and that the color
turned out to be trivial once I realized that you were telling me that the
command itself could specify the color:

I've moved on to solving the other part of the problem, which is that the
user-level "Open command window here (user)" REG file causes the menu to
show up under more circumstances than does the "Open command window here
(admin)" INF result.

By studying the registry after running both the REG & INF, I'm starting to
see how to add the context menu under various right-click circumstances.

To be clear, I have never dissected such things before, but I'm beginning
to figure out a solution empirically, where, when I'm done, everyone will
have both commands working anywhere they click:
* Open command window here (users) = works on both white space & folders
* Open command window here (admin) = only works on folders at the moment

If you don't hear back from me, it means I haven't found the solution yet.
If you hear back from me, that means everyone will have a working solution
by me that they can just cut and paste and it will work for them.
