    Make sure a new key is created under "shell".
    Change the name of this key to Command Prompt 
  • Right-click on this new key "Command Prompt" and select New > Key
    Change the name of this key to command 
  • Double-click on the "(Default)" text on the right window to bring up the edit box 
  • Enter this text into the Value Data field: cmd.exe "%1" 



  • Now Expand to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\DesktopBackground\shell” 
  • Right-click on "shell" and select New > Key
    Make sure a new key is created under "shell".
    Change the name of this key to Command Prompt
