I don't want to install PowerToys, I'd rather a simpler solution for this specific problem.

I've tried Ctrl+Shift+Right-Click.

I've tried adding a registry script, but I get the following error:

Cannot import D:\Admin\Reg\Open command window here (Administrator)\Open command window here (Administrator).reg: The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.

Any suggestions?
