Personalization Add "Open in Windows Terminal (Admin)" context menu in Windows 11


  • Staff
Windows_Terminal_elevated_banner.png

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove a Open in Windows Terminal as administrator context menu for all users in Windows 11.

Windows Terminal is a modern host application for the command-line shells you already love, like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and bash (via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)). Its main features include multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and the ability to create your own themes and customize text, colors, backgrounds, and shortcuts.

Windows 11 includes a Open in Windows Terminal context menu by default when you right click or shift + right click on a folder or folder background, but this does not open Windows Terminal elevated (run as administrator).

The Open in Windows Terminal as administrator context menu will allow you to select to open an elevated Windows Terminal to the current folder path with the default shell profile, Command Prompt shell profile, or Windows PowerShell shell profile.


You must be signed in as an administrator to add, remove, and use the "Open in Windows Terminal as administrator" context menu.


EXAMPLE: "Open in Windows Terminal as administrator" context menu

Is there a way to reorder this list? I like in your screenshot that the Admin prompt is right below the standard one... however mine has "Atom" in between them.

Hello, :-)

You could add the line below to the first section of the REG file for each context menu to move them to the bottom so they be together there.

"Position"="Bottom"

I was able to move the Admin prompt to the bottom, but got an error (I think it was about permissions) trying to move the normal terminal to the bottom as well. So I just removed that from the Admin prompt and moved Atom to the bottom instead and they are together now. Oh, and I renamed it. :)

I can't get the entry to the bottom on Desktop unless I create a .reg for DesktopBackground...,
and..., to get it ALL the way to the bottom, you have to prefix the key with a blank character...

Edit:
It's actually advantageous when you have an MUIVerb, then you can change the key name to shuffle the hierarchy but the entry in the menu remains where it should, un-bulleted.

Great! But how about just "Open in Windows Terminal as administrator" on default profile? Thanks!

Hello,

I'm afraid a profile is just the shell (ex: Command Prompt vs PowerShell) instead of "Open in Windows Terminal" vs "Open in Windows Terminal as administrator". :(

I have tried everything, Windows Terminal works from the Windows+X or right click on the start menu, but when installing the shell integration to the right click menu, it "starts" to open terminal, then goes to a cmd window and says:

Windows can not find 'wt.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. I have tried everything out there. The curious part is that if I log in on the "REAL" Administrator Account (turned on from gpedit.msc..) it works properly on that user. I am baffled and very tired of searching for an answer to this.

Hello, and welcome. :alien:

As a test, if you open Run (Win+R), type wt.exe into Run, and press Enter, does it open Windows Terminal?

One thing was changed, the UAC was set to not notify. Curiously when I turn it back on, the terminal opens and stay open while I am dealing with UAC. Then once I select "yes" on UAC, the terminal changes into a cmd.exe and gives me the error I posted above. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Oh,

Is app execution aliases turned on, and turned on for Terminal?

And it has been customized, but it's not hacked all that much.

Nothing was, that was set properly.

I ended up just running an in place Windows 11 Update. Didn't lose too much. Thanks for your assistance. It works properly now so who knows what the root cause was...

Me again. Hey is there anything I should know about the add Ubuntu registry file? I have WSL 2 installed and updated and Ubuntu 20.04 installed on Windows 11 and it just does absolutely nothing - doesn't even begin to open any sort of shell. Can you elaborate on that .reg file so hopefully I can connect the Linux Penguin with Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows shell? The rest work just fine. I wish I could understand the regular expressions or what is in the .reg files and the registry. I know where they are, but not what to do about them. Thanks in advance if you have any guidance.

Sorry about that. Looks like there was a change. I've updated the Add_Ubuntu_as_admin.reg download in the tutorial.

Please download and merge the updated version in the tutorial to see how it works for you now.

I hate to trouble you further, but I thought I would report back...

Default profile goes to Powershell 7.3.1 as admin on the desktop where I clicked (as I have it installed.)
Command Prompt goes to command prompt as admin on the desktop where I clicked.
Ubuntu goes to Powershell 7.3.1 as admin on the desktop where I clicked. Not to Ubuntu.

To clarify, I only used:
Add_Open_in_Windows_Terminal_as_administrator.reg
and
Add_Ubuntu_as_admin.reg
as adding the PowerShell 7 entry would be redundant since PowerShell 7.3.1 is my "Default Profile"

I hope not to be too much of an inconvenience. Maybe it can't work, but this is progress.
