Opening command Prompt (cmd) at any folder on your system.



Adding command prompt among the options in windows 7 when you right click folders
When we right click folders, it’ll be cool to have the option of opening the cmd console for that folder’s directory.
  1. Open “regedit” by typing “regedit” in the Start Menu search area, or Pressing Windows + R, and typing “regedit”. i.e launching the command prompt.
  2. After it has been opened Navigate to “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell”  right click the shell key, and create a new key, name it OpencmdPrompt under this new key, i.e.  OpencmdPrompt,  create a new key and name it “command”.
  3. Highlight the “OpencmdPrompt” and double click the default value, which is on the right side of the regedit, and input the value: “Open Command Prompt Here” , this is the text displayed when you right click.
  4. Now under the command key, highlight it, and specify its default value as: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k cd "%1" this is the command for the action to perform.
  5. After completing it, close regedit and refresh the system, you should see it when you right click any folder on your system.
If you feel it’s too complicated for you to do, click here to download this script and install it.
This also works for Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
