... to open a COMMAND window. I have been using Windows NT family since 1998 and I only just found out about this today! I am using Windows 10; how many versions back has this been possible?
Looks to work going back to Windows Vista; Windows XP, 2000, NT, 98SE (with command of course) etc. try to open it as a web page.Its been LIKE this for a while.

Some store kiosks years ago for example full screen to a browser and all other FEATURES blocked out use to allow this until they got better at keeping people out. 

I still like the Jump to URL "Feature" using Calculator to get a command prompt up and have had to use it before for white hat reasons to gain admin access to a troubled system that I wasnt given the admin password to, as WELL as the autorun on a CD trick to get to command prompt which from there I could type control and get control panel up and install a printer driver for a DIFFERENT printer for a Kiosk that otherwise I was locked out of when at my last career in IT for a Food Store but of which I wasnt given admin privileges by the Kiosk manufacturer.  Was able to swap out the printer with a different model with this local white hat hacking vs have to pay a crazy amount of money to the Kiosk manufacturer that refused to give up the admin password.

Here is the well known trick to get browser and command shell access through Explorer: http://techfunia.blogspot.com/2011/01/use-calculator-as-your-web-browser.html

From browser if there is no block at the browser, you then have full system access as whatever privilege the system is logged in as.https://wiert.me/2011/09/23/windows-device-manager-expand-all-nodes/

Didn't find this one til about a year ago...Oh that is fricken sweet and it opens up to the folder you were using in Explorer!!!!!

I always knew I could open up explorer from a cmd prompt by typing start .

Now I can go both ways!  (...I should probably delete that comment...)Naaah...we always knew that...
