If you've ever worked in the Command Prompt for very long, you know that it can be really frustrating executing the cd/chdir command over and over again to get to the right directory.
In Windows, open the folder you'd like to start working from, within Command Prompt. When you're there, hold down Shift while you right-click anywhere in the folder.
After the menu pops up, you'll notice an entry that's not usually there: Open command window here. Click that and you'll start a new instance of the Command Prompt, ready and waiting at the right location.
If you're a Command Prompt power user, you'll immediately recognize the value in this little trick.
Note: If you see PowerShell in the right-click menu instead of Command Prompt, make a small change to the Windows Registry to change it to Command Prompt. How-To Geek has a guide on that.
