How to create "Open Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 Here" context menu on Windows 10

As a developer, sometimes I want to open up an elevated command prompt with all developer command line utilities enabled at once.

Actually there are a few registry tweaks to open up an "elevated command prompt" here, but none of them that I found supported Visual Studio command prompt. So I made another tweak on top of the tweak to enable this. Enjoy! 

** Try this at your own risk ** 

1. Save the following contents on a reg file. eg. VSDEVCMD.REG
2. Run the reg file.
3. Click "Yes" on the warning dialogue. 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00    [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]  @="Open command window here as Administrator"  "HasLUAShield"=""    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]  @="cmd.exe /s /k \"pushd \"%V\" && call \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\Common7\\Tools\\VsDevCmd.bat \"\"" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas]    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas]  @="Open command window here as Administrator"  "HasLUAShield"=""    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas\command]  @="cmd.exe /s /k \"pushd \"%V\" && call \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\Common7\\Tools\\VsDevCmd.bat \"\"" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\runas]    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\runas]  @="Open command window here as Administrator"  "HasLUAShield"=""    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\runas\command]  @="cmd.exe /s /k \"pushd \"%V\" && call \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\Common7\\Tools\\VsDevCmd.bat \"\""
