Getting back the Command Prompt in Windows 8.1

Microsoft decided in their infinite Wisdom to change the Windows "Quick Links" menu in Windows 8.1 so that the default layout removes the shortcut to the Command Prompt, and replaced it with a link to Powershell.

The average Joe does not use Powershell, people!

Thankfully this can easily be fixed.  Just right-click the Taskbar and select Properties.  Then go to the Navigation tab and un-click Replace Command-Prompt with Windows PowerShell in the menu when I right-click the lower-left corner or press Windows key+X.
