If you added the context menu using the tutorial below, step 4 below should be able to remove it.

Open command window here - Add in Windows 10

I think that is the problem, the menu item was there before adding anything, it came with 20H2 along with "Open PowerShell window here", I can't remove either one of them.

I just did a scan on the registry for "Open command " and this was the result:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{858DACA2-78B4-412F-9A4E-315BBB4E1F21}]
""="Open Command Prompt as Admin Command"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Drive\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdmin]
""="Open command (Admin)"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdmin]
""="Open command (Admin)"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\background\shell\OpenCmdHereAsAdmin]
""="Open command (Admin)"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{858DACA2-78B4-412F-9A4E-315BBB4E1F21}]
""="Open Command Prompt as Admin Command"

I use 20H2. I only have "Open PowerShell window here".



My Registry Editor found no "Open command (Admin)".

If you want it, then Open command window here as administrator - Add in Windows 10

If I wanted it, I would write a script to add it.

Can't trust those existing third party scripts

Test scanning for cmd2. I believe that was the original key for it.

No results. The reason I scanned for "Open command " is because that is what is displayed in the menu.

As you have found no cmd2, your problem was not caused by Brink's REG file.

I didn't say it was, the item was present before Brink's REG file as it is on all PCs running Windows 10 as a stock item.
