Personally I install the registry tweak that gives you the context menu item, but if you don't do Windows file mods and stuff not needing it often, then use the command line it's a lot quicker and much less fuss than going through the explorer gui way.

 

Thanks to both of you I used the registry tweak which worked a treat.
