    ### "Open Cmder Here" in context menu
    To add an entry in the Windows Explorer context menu to open Cmder
    in a specific directory, paste this into a `OpenCmderHere.reg` file
    and double-click to install it.
    ```
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Cmder]
    @="Open Cmder Here"
    "Icon"="\"%CMDER_ROOT%\\icons\\cmder.ico\",0"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Cmder\command]
    @="\"%CMDER_ROOT%\\Cmder.exe\" /START \"%v\""
    ```
    Then add the Environment variable `CMDER_ROOT` to point to the path of your installation.

    **Execute .\cmder.exe /REGISTER ALL If you get a message "Access Denied" ensure you are executing the command in an Administrator prompt.**
