Add Open PowerShell window here as administrator in Windows 10  

For the shift + right click as admin argument is not being forwarded to subshell.
Original:
"PowerShell -Command "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/k,pushd && start PowerShell -NoExit && exit' -Verb RunAs""
Change:
"PowerShell -Command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/k,pushd && start PowerShell -NoExit set-location -LiteralPath %V && exit' -Verb RunAs\""
Updated reg file is attached

The updated reg files do not work in some cases. When right-clicking some directories, and executing "open powershell as admin", the following error is provided and the window opens in %windir%/system32/ directory.

Can you correct please?

Set-Location : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'D.'.

What is the full path?

It happens with multiple paths....so for example, if I right click on C:\Users\<Profile Name>.... or C:\Temp or C:\Program Files folders and click powershell, run as admin, etc.

Got it. How do you fix the registry modification to account for folders with spaces?

It appears to be an issue when a folder or directory includes a space in the name.

Using this below seems to working well. I'll update the .bat files to use this below for now after some more testing.

@="PowerShell -Command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/k,pushd %V && start PowerShell -NoExit && exit' -Verb RunAs\""

That change seems to fix the issue of the directory names with spaces. Thank you!

I used %V after pushd instead of using -Literalpath so it will push the name with spaces.

So far, it's working fine on all directory names and spaces.

The .bat files are now updated using this.
