Replacing the default MS Paint with an older version (Revisited)

Do it the simple wayOpen Command Prompt In A Folder Using Keyboard Shortcut?

• Go to the required folder.
• The press Shift + right click mouse button anywhere in the folder window.
• Select the “Open command window here” option from the context menu.

Thank you both - both methods worked.

However, I was expecting to see something different in this folder.

I get a .lnk for Paint - how do I view/edit this?



At first I got an 'Open With Powershell Window' opton as shown here and had to edit the registry to get the 'Open with Command' option back.

Open command window here - Add in Windows 10

Open command window here as administrator - Add in Windows 10

.lnk's are Links or Shortcuts to Programs. This is a standard Link to Paint. Why do you want to Edit it?
If you must then;
Open "Registry Editor" by typing "regedit" in the taskbar search box and selecting the program.

1. Navigate to the Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile location in the program.
   
2. Create a backup of the key by right-clicking "lnkfile" and selecting Export (you can use this to restore your key in case of an error).
   
3. Select the "NeverShowExt" property and delete it.
   
4. Restart Windows.

Art,

I was not suggesting using the Command prompt for the job you want to do.

Use File explorer then you'll be able to access the properties of that shortcut. I suggest copying it to your Desktop to do any alterations then copying it back afterwards [for which you'll be challenged to give Admin permission to proceed].
