Vista - "Open Command Prompt Here"?

Does anyone know of a registry hack to get this on a context menu?

TweakUI has always had that in the past, but since there's (not yet) a
TweakUI for Vista, I was wondering how to achieve this manually.

Speaking of TweakUI. it's too bad MS didn't include these features by
default in Vista (or at least give you the option of using them via an
"advanced options" .cpl or some such thing). I've been griping about
that with every Windows version.

Go to Taskbar | Properties | Start Menu | Customize. Place a check in the
appropriate box.

Roll your own *.reg file:



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; add command prompt to right click context menu
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open Command Prompt Here]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open Command Prompt Here\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"

Greetings,

Here is what I use:
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?...pic=52524&st=0

browse down to the extension that says Cmd Prompt Here 1.0 new 4/16/2006

That link however is old and does not work, a mirror is here:

http://fileho.com/download/8fb6f1205...Setup.exe.html

- Shell extension that launches the command prompt set to the folder it was
accessed from.


I also use the one that says HIDDEN FILES TOGGLE 2.0
