How to add / remove 'Open in Windows Terminal' context menu in Windows 10
What is Windows Terminal?
Windows Terminal is a modern terminal software for command line users, with many features you won't find in the classic Command Prompt and PowerShell tools. It comes with tabs, GPU accelerated DirectWrite / DirectX based text rendering engine, profiles, etc.
Thanks to profiles, you can have Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Windows Subsystem for Linux versions running in tabs. Another great thing about the app is that it's completely open source, available on GitHub, so anyone can contribute.
When installed, Windows Terminal adds a context menu command, Open in Windows Terminal , when right-clicking File Explorer. You can use it to open apps directly to specific location. If you find yourself not using this command, you can easily remove it.
