“Git Bash here” isn’t working when right clicking

HOW TO FIX WITHOUT RE-Installing:

I got this problem after moving all my programs off of my main hard drive and pasting them into my “P” drive. But kept all of the directory structures the same.

Git was moved from:
C:\DEV\PROG\GIT
TO:
P:\DEV\PROG\GIT

1: Open The Registry Editor:
Type “regedit” in start menu search and hit enter.

2: Find the context menu shortcut configuration for “git bash here”
In regedit: Menu “Edit” > “Find” > “Find what” and enter “git_shell”

3: Edit the Data value so that path points to the correct location.
In my case I changed:

"C:\DEV\PROG\GIT\git-bash.exe" "--cd=%v."
TO:
"P:\DEV\PROG\GIT\git-bash.exe" "--cd=%v."
Screen shot included below.
