Command Prompt Here Registry Hack

Here's how to get a "Command Prompt Here" action added to Windows Explorer so that it will drop to a cmd.exe prompt on any folder you have navigated to.

Copy/paste the below code segment. Save it as CmdPromptHere.reg somewhere, right click on it and choose "Merge" and OK the changes it will make to your registry.

-- CUT ----------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command]
@="Command &Prompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command]
@="cmd.exe"

-- CUT ---------------------------------------------

This is a simple operation that I end up doing to every machine I have and use.
