It took me for a loop it wouldn't work for me until found I didn't have the Path Environment Variable for powershell makes sense finally.

It contains five script files, which can be combined into a single batch script.
If you are interested, see how I combine scripts in the tutorial below:

I know, and, I had already downloaded and studied your batchfile from that tutorial a couple years ago, but my view is that adding more code than really should be necessary to get the job done right is what obfuscates clarity, as nobody likes to waste their time and effort churning through additional code when their only important goal is to get to understand the script as fast as they can. I.e., people are not computers.

I don't expect people will get to understand a script before running it.
I think they want to get results produced by the script.

They don't have to understand if they don't want to. The best that I can do is just to help them try to understand it.

If you, like me, prefer to 'Shift+Open here' the command window as an administrator without getting greeted by the UAC prompt, then this might be for you. I also got annoyed by the little stroboscopic side effect resulting from how cmd /c start is used in various tutorials so, I went ahead and decided to apply old medicine─nothing too complicated.

I included a README.txt file in the zip and added some additional brief comments in each file about how to set this all up right. At first I was going to write up a full-blown tutorial, but then I got lazy and bored so, please feel free to reply with your suggestions like possible improvements, questions, or other related remarks.

Changelog:

• The .reg file wasn't working properly so it has now been corrected.
• It now also includes the option to add Shift+Open command window here as standard user.
• It now also includes the .reg files needed to remove these added keys from Windows registry.

Use "Open command window here as administrator" and I also have a "Open command window here", how do I get rid of it?

Hello mate,

There's a remove option in the tutorial here on the first page for "Open command window here as administrator", and one at the link below "Open command window here".
