The Windows context menu option ‘👩‍💻 Windows Terminal Here’ is handy to open Windows Terminal from Windows or Windows Explorer, mantendo o mesmo camiño.
 

This tutorial assumes that Windows PowerShell is run as default when Windows Terminal is started

  1. Edit the registry as follows…

    Inicia o Editor do rexistro

    Clave de vitoria + R -> regedit -> Click OK

    Amosa a barra de enderezos no Editor do Rexistro se aínda non se mostra

    View -> Address Bar

     

  2. Add the first registry entry to create the icon in the menu…

    Camiño do rexistro: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell

    Right click shell -> New -> Key

    Name the key Terminal

    Edit the (defecto) string to Windows Terminal Here

    Right click the new key Terminal -> New -> String

    Name the new string Icon

    Download the Windows Terminal Icon…

    Windows Terminal Icon

    Open the Icon string and set the value as follows replacing {path to icon} co teu propio camiño:

    {path to icon}terminal.ico

     

  3. Engade a segunda entrada de rexistro

    Camiño do rexistro: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Terminal

    Right click Terminal -> New -> Key
