Solved How to add a keyboard shortcut

[Haikgh]

I would like to add a keyboard shortcut for Command Prompt (CMD), for example if I to have it as [Win+C] or something similar.
Is this possible?
Thanks

You can navigate to "%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows System", right click the Command Prompt shortcut then assign a keyboard shortcut.

Hello Haikgh. Welcome to EightForums.
Or when looking at the start screen, press c and select what you want



If you need it as administrator or "elevated" use Win+X.

Guys thank you very much for responses. I forgot to mention that I need that keyboard shortcrust to be for an elevated CMD!
How do I do that ?
Thanks )

You can click on advanced (from my post), check the "Run as administrator" option, click OK then Apply.
Check the keyboard shortcut again, it should launch the elevated CMD instead.

Just in case you ever forget your keyboard shortcut or it fails you can hover mouse in lower left corner for start screen popout,
do a right click and choose Command Prompt (Admin)
