It is often useful to be able to start a command prompt in a specific folder when browsing through a folder in Windows Explorer. The registry file below creates a context (or right click) menu item which allows you to do just this. Save the following text into a file called "C:\CommandPromptHere.reg" and then double click on the file in Windows Explorer. After doing this you will then be able to right click on a folder and select the "Command Prompt Here" menu. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\CmdHere] @="&Command Prompt Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\CmdHere\Command] @="cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""
