• To add the option to open Command Prompt (admin) from File Explorer, create the “runas” key, set the default string as “Command Prompt (Admin),” create the “NoWorkingDirectory” and “HasLUAShield” strings, create and set the “Position” string to “Top,” create and set the “Icon” string to “C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe.” And create the “command” key and set the default string to “cmd.exe /s /k pushd \”%V\”” then restart the computer.

On Windows 11 , when you right-click inside a folder, you will find the option to open that File Explorer path in Command Prompt, but you won’t find an entry to open the console as an administrator.

However, if you must open a particular folder location in File Explorer with Command Prompt as an administrator to run an application, it’s possible to add an entry to the classic context menu through the Registry.

In this guide , you will learn the steps to add a new entry in the File Explorer (classic) context menu to open a specific path in Command Prompt as an administrator on Windows 11 (or Windows 10 ).

  1. Open Start on Windows 11.

Microsoft Word makes it easy to create and print an envelope without the need for complex configurations or third-party software, and in this guide, you will learn how.

Although the mailing system does a pretty good job recognizing virtually any handwriting to deliver a letter, sometimes, you may still want to print the information onto the envelope for a more professional look or speed up the process when sending several pieces of mail.

Whatever the reason it might be, Word from Microsoft 365, Office 2021, 2019, 2016, and older versions include the “Mailings” feature to help you print envelopes and labels easily.

This guide will teach you the steps to print an envelope using Microsoft Word on Windows 11 .

To print an envelope with Microsoft Word, use these steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Word app.
  2. Select the blank document option (if applicable).
  3. Click the Mailings tab.
  4. Click the Envelopes button.
  5. Under the “Delivery address” section, enter the delivery information, such as name and destination address, as you would with any envelope.
  6. Under the “Return address” section, enter your information, such as your name and address.
  7. Click the Options button.
  8. Select the envelope’s size (for example, Size 10 ) in the “Envelope size” setting.
  9. (Optional) Under the “Delivery address” section, change the font and position of the information.
  10. (Optional) Under the “Return address” section, change the font and position of the information. Quick tip: If you use Outlook and have the recipient’s information in your contacts, it is possible to click the address button to import the information.
  11. In the “Preview” section, confirm the envelope printout.
  12. Click the Printing Options tab.
  13. Under the “Feed method” section, select the printing feed location (face down and clockwise rotation) and the feeding tray. Quick note: The default selection should work for most cases, but make sure to confirm how to insert the envelope in the printer’s paper tray.
  14. Click the OK button.
  15. Click the Print button.

Once you complete the steps, the printer will print the envelope with the source and destination information you specified in Microsoft Word.

While you can print envelopes directly, Microsoft Word also includes the “Labels” tab in the settings that allows you to create and print labels, which you can then attach to an envelope.

If available, the settings also let you add electronic postage, but you need third-party software to use the feature.
