I really miss the "command prompt here' that I added to XP.
It was a XP Power Tools. I've read that you can also make it by editing the
Registry - anybody have instructions?

Paste this into a .reg file and click on it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Cmd Here]
@="Command &Prompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Cmd Here\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"
 
Press and hold shift while right clicking a folder and you'll be presented
with that option.
 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd
Underneath this is a value named "Extended". Delete this value. With this
value present then Command Prompt here is only available with a shift +
right click - useless feature for mouse users.

That's the best option for this I've seen yet!

Thanks. :0)
