How to Open Jupyter Notebook in Command Prompt

The Command Prompt has been around forever, and it's still a great resource to have at your disposal. Today we're showing you all of the different ways to open the Command Prompt. We're betting you don't know all of them.

The Command Prompt is a pretty useful tool. It allows you to do some things quicker than you can do them in the graphic interface and offers some tools that you just can't find in the graphic interface at all. And in true keyboard-ninja spirit, the Command Prompt also supports all kinds of clever keyboard shortcuts that make it even more powerful. While it's easy to just open the Command Prompt from the Start menu, that's not the only way to do it. So, let's take a look at the rest.

You can do pretty much everything in PowerShell that you can do in Command Prompt, plus a lot of other useful things.
