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: 
Assuming that in File Explorer you have opened the target directory/folder, do this:

1. Click on address bar, alternatively press `Alt`+`D`
2. Now when address bar is highlighted, type **cmd** in the bar.
3. Press Enter key

You will notice that command prompt from that folder
Rather than saving it as a shortcut, this is how I do it and I find it very useful. There are already answers to show as a shortcut, but I just wanted to share this, especially I find it very useful for angular projects.

* Create a new txt file 
and write the following code into it.  

`@ECHO OFF 
cd C:\YourProjectPath\FolderPath\`
* save as .bat file with a convenient name. (I usually save it as
"goto-myProjectName.bat"
* Then copy that bat file into your default path (when you run the cmd,
whatever is your default path, it starts with that. For instance, on
my machine it is windows/system32)
* Then type your bat file's name without its extension.
* For instance:`goto-myProjectName`

Then it should take you to there.
