I am late to the game with a lot of things and I am probably late on this one
as well, but I am happy as a pig in mud over this little tip.
In WinXP, Windows Explorer
- Tools > Folder Options
- File Types Tab
- Select File Type [Folder]
- Click Advanced button
- Click New button
-
In the Action textbox enter
CM&D Prompt -
In the Application usesd to perform action textbox
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /K cd %1
You may now open a command prompt via Windows Explorer by right-clicking on any folder.
Your command window will already be in that folder.
