In Windows Explorer, highlight the folder the file is in (but not an individual file within that folder). Press shift-F10. This opens a context menu, but with a couple of extra options. One of the options is to open a command window at the folder. This saves you from typing a long folder name at the command prompt. I didn't try this in Windows 10, but suspect it would still work.

Subject: Command Prompt

This should be Windows 7 101 but how do I get to the command prompt. I am trying to delete an undeletable file. The fix suggests going to the command prompt by clicking Start and typing cmd. If I do that, I am in the search box of the Start Menu which really doesn’t help. Should I go to the Run dialogue? Additionally, is there a way to send the entire path of a file to the clipboard for later use?
