cant get command window for root?

trying to get my command prompt up in my SDK tools folder so i can root my nexuz when i get it. but when i hold the shift key and right click i dont get the option for open command promp here? could it be blocked since im on my work computer? i also tried going
start>run cmd.
it starts off in H...
then i type
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
and it just goes right back to H? am i doing something wrong?

Are you on Windows 7?
If you are, go to your tools folder and right click anywhere inside the folder while holding the shift key. Select "Open command window here" from the menu.
If you're on XP, try these commands after running "cmd":
C:
cd android-sdk-windows
cd platform-tools

im trying to unlock my gsm nexus bootloader in command run it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. what do i do?

I'm assuming you have Android SDK downloaded to your C:\ drive or or some place like that. if so then navigate to SDK folder and hold shift then right click platform-tools folder and then click open command window here. .

You need to get adb working on your PC. You don't have it installed or you are using it wrong (not in the directory it is in, or it isn't set to PATH as examples).
Side note adb doesn't work in the bootloader.

use gnex toolkit in galaxy nexus android development

Open the CMD and navigate to the folder where ADB.EXE is located and like someone mentioned about adb wont work in bootloader, so instead you'll have to use "fastboot", type "fastboot /?" for help and commands.
also make sure you execute CMD as Administrator.

on the toolkit, adb file's name is different. try "adb-toolkit" instead of "adb"
so: "adb-toolkit reboot bootloader"

Quick closing fastboot every time

Hi, I have just started to modify its arc up from the start I have a big problem. I am running Windows 8, and when I want to launch fastboot.exe or the Android SDK command prompt window closes immediately, I have installed the USB drivers but with this I can not help, maybe someone knows what can I do?

Did you right click the folder and press shift at the same time? This will show a menu with the option "open command window here". Select that and you will go to cmd within fastboot directory.
This exe file is not meant to be executed as a normal program, it takes commands from cmd so you will also need to know a bit about console application and the commands.

Bootloader unlocking problem

Morning.
No doubt I am missing something dumb out here but I'm having problems here. Following HTC Dev instructions to the letter but when I open CMD it says C:\Windows\system32 NOT C:\Users\Admin\cd \Android
Tried typing in fastboot devices and just get not recognized. I've installed SDK, HTC Sync, JAVA etc.
Any help would be gratefully received

Navigate to the folder where also the fastboot exe file is located, open the command prompt directly in there and type the command again.

PowerShell is now the default in Windows 10. You can change it back permanently in Settings->Personalization->Taskbar and turn off "Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell...".
You can also access cmd temporarily by typing 'cmd' in a Windows Explorer title bar.

Thanks for the reply I was thinking power shell is why I can't install twrp on my pixel XL
