I was going into my registry to add a command prompt shortcut to folders when I found there was already one there, looking like the following:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="@shell32.dll,-8506"
"Extended"=""
"HideBasedOnVelocityId"=dword:006698a6
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""
However, the entry was not showing on my context menu when I right clicked. The only thing that makes sense to me is the HideBasedOnVelocityId key as keeping it from being displayed. Anyone know why? Is there a dword value I should put in to allow it to work?

Change the
HideBasedOnVelocityId
toShowBasedOnVelocityId
to enable the command prompt entry again.Microsoft is doing this to replace cmd.exe with Powershell
