The BEST and precise tip I’ve found ever!
Hi
I got as far as step 8 but for some reason there is no open command prompt when I select file.
The other options are available but not that one. I tried searching for it in the windows search bar but no luck. What do you advise?
Kind regards
Thea
Inside the folder just press and hold Ctrl+Shift and then right click then choose Open command prompt here
