While making the transition to Vista I noticed the lack of the right-click option to add "Command Prompt here". Googling I've found a small registry tweak to add this support feature along with another option to open a cmd window with elevated permissions.

Credits go to Randy for his blog post at http://www.randyrant..._tip_eleva.html

I mirror here his work:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellcmd]

@="Comm&and Prompt here"

"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

"Extended"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellcmdcommand]

@="cmd.exe /k "pushd %L && title Command Prompt""



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellrunas]

@="Ele&vated Comm&and Prompt here"

"NoWorkingDirectory"=""



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshellrunascommand]

@="cmd.exe /k "pushd %L && title Command Prompt""



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellcmd]

@="Comm&and Prompt here"

"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

"Extended"=-



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellcmdcommand]

@="cmd.exe /k "pushd %L && title Command Prompt""



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellrunas]

@="Ele&vated Comm&and Prompt here"

"NoWorkingDirectory"=""



[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshellrunascommand]

@="cmd.exe /k "pushd %L && title Command Prompt""
