Open PowerShell here in background directory

I have been trying to create some registry keys to open PowerShell as you would Command Prompt in explorer by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Right Click.

I have the context key created here:

<code>HKLM\Directory\Background\shell\Powershell</code>

but the value I put here:

<code>HKLM\Directory\Background\shell\Powershell\command</code>

returns an error when I click Open PowerShell here

"Open PowerShell here" context menu Error message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."

I've tried a few string values now but still with similar results. Has anyone accomplished this using the background directory key and if so how did you do it?

You will want to use %V instead of %1.

Change the Default value like so:

"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoExit "cd '%V'"
