    The File menu on Explorer has some useful shortcuts

    If you select / highlight a folder in File Explorer and and then pick Open Command Prompt, then the Current Directory (CD) in Cmd is the folder selected in file Explorer. You don't have to change directories in Cmd.

    Hmm ... you just click on the blue tile that says "File" in the upper left corner of the explorer.

    Just realized the same menu is in Win 8.1 but the "Delete History" Option has been changed to "Change Folder and Search Options in Win 10.

    Yeah, I wondered if I just missed that feature in Win8 - good to know and thanks.
