Windows Terminal Context Menu - How To Setup

[DEPRECATED - Windows Terminal Context Menu is Added in the core when installing windows terminal]

When I heard about The new Windows Terminal I was mind Blown because of how beautiful it is to customize your own terminal window.

Terminals are one tool most programmers use to automatically generate something or build something. So having this kind of terminal is awesome.

After Downloading the terminal there is something missing. And that is opening the Windows Terminal in the context menu.

What A context menu is when you right-click on a directory and an option will show up. Something like this image. This is really a good feature to have because you can just easily open your project by doing it.

And so because of that, I created a simple PROJECT that is easy and simple to setup.

So, to set up this,

Important

You should have installed the Windows Terminal on your system. If you haven't installed yet, you can go to these options to download the app:

• Microsoft Store - you directly download it on the Microsoft Store.
• Terminal GitHub - you can read more here Other install methods

👉 Note: Windows Terminal requires Windows 10 1903 (build 18362) or later

Download the latest release HERE

Follow This Steps After Downloading, and will configure everything for you.

HOW TO INSTALL THE CONTEXT MENU

Install

for ZIP File - Download

Extract the Zip File Run the Install.bat to automatically configure the context menu for you.

for EXE File - Download

Just Extract and run the exe file to automatically configure the context menu for you.

After Insalling(Optional)

You can edit The settings, so that when ever you click new tab it will always open in the same directory.

To open settings, open Windows Terminal and go to settings and add this just inside the default:

{
...
  "profiles": {
          "defaults": {
              ...
              "startingDirectory": "."
              ...
          },
          ...
    }
}

Have a Nise Day! 😄👍👊

Sweet, thanks! Super easy.

One minor correction: The icon you used is for Fluent Terminal (another good alternative, albeit I settled on Windows Terminal). That plus I'd love to have support for higher res displays like 4k. Setup a quick PR for that here: github.com/BroJenuel/Explorer-Cont...

I found bug.
We don't have icon of windows terminal and we have to put Terminal folder to bat folder where is install.bat and uninstall.bat files

[Jenuel Oras Ganawed]

I couldn't get the icon to work either but other than that it works!
