Add Command Prompt Here to Every Folder
If you're from the old school and still use the DOS prompt regularly, then this tip is for you! It creates a new right-click option to open a command prompt window at the directory you are currently working from.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new sub key called 'CommandPrompt' in
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt]
Change the value of (default) within the key to equal the text you would like on the right-click menu, for example 'Command Prompt Here'.
Create another new sub-key under the key created above, name this subkey command as in:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\command]
Change the value of (default) within this key depending on your operating system to equal either:
Windows 9x
command.com /k cd "%1"
or
Windows NT/XP/2000/7
cmd.exe /k cd "%1"
Now right-click on a folder and the new option of 'Command Prompt Here' should be available.
