I want "Command Prompt Here" in right click menu for all folders but without having to hold shift key.

It was possible in earlier versions of windows, like this but it's not working anymore, in Windows 10.

Has this method changed in Windows 10? or is there another way to do this?

The registry method actually has changed slightly, as I discovered tinkering with the registry.

There are now two locations that have the Extended key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmd
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd

The \Background\shell is newly added one and deleting the Extended key from that location is what worked for me.

In the Latest Windows 10 - 1909 the only concerned location is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmd. And none of the answers explained how to deal with permissions before editing.

First, we need to change permissions for the regedit branch revealed above:

1- Right click cmd > Permission

2- Press "Advanced"

3- Press "Change" link on top

4- Input your user name (you can find yours by typing %userprofile% in run command or windows search), click check and ok

5- Check Replace Owner and press OK

6- Finally select your user accounts one by one and check full control (you may have more than 2)

At this point we can edit the keys and you only need to rename Extended to _Extended_. And rename HideBasedOnVelocityId to ShowBasedOnVelocityId

Your keys should look like..

Done! If you right click inside any folder "open command prompt here" should be there.
