| | Re: DOS Prompt Here As far as the right-hand pane goes, are you left-clicking a folder before right-clicking it to make sure it is selected? 'Open Command Window Here' is defined both for the Directory object & background -- and the behavior you describe sounds like the background is selected when you're executing the command. As for the left-hand pane, are you sure you have permissions to access the folder. When I have Explorer open to the C: drive, attempting to open a command prompt for certain folders, such as MSOCache or System Volume Information results in the following: Access is denied. C:\Windows\system32> The same registry entry governs the command for both panes. Unless some 3rd party add-on does something weird. Do you have any non-standard context menu items? Did you install ANYTHING between the time it was working for you & the time it wasn't? -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "Doit2it" <oO@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:LpOdncUsHrQj8EnanZ2dnUVZ_iydnZ2d@xxxxxx Quote: > My registry looks exactly as you showed.

| | Re: DOS Prompt Here Yes, but the OP doesn't think it's working properly, so I suggested verifying it. The wording of your post seemed to imply the functionality was hard-coded. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] "Synapse Syndrome" <synapse@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OFAugClgIHA.4744@xxxxxx Quote: >" Keith Miller (MVP)" <k.miller@xxxxxx> wrote in message >news:OaAssAlgIHA.484@xxxxxx Quote: >> The <shift>+<right-click> functionality comes from a registry entry. >> > But it is already there by default, isn't it? > > ss. > |
