Question: How can I open a cmd window in a specific location without having to navigate all the way to the directory I want?

Answer: 
In File Explorer, press and hold the `Shift` key, then `right click` or `press and hold` on a `folder` or `drive` that you want to open the command prompt at that location for, and `click/tap` on `Open Command Prompt Here` option.
In windows 10, you just need one click to get cmd in any folder. 
Just hold `"shift + mouse right click "` in your desire folder and `cmd` will open with your folder path.
