The rest, not so much.

Hi Paul,

I admit I don't have the required computerist skills to understand how to
change the INF file below so that the "Open command window here (admin)"
works exactly like the "Open command window here" REG file context menu
entry does.

For example, after loading both the "user cmd" REG file and after loading
the "admin cmd" INF file, neither the "user cmd" or "admin cmd" context
menu entry shows up when I right click in white space on "My PC".

But when I right click on "C:", the "user cmd" entry shows up,
while the "admin cmd" entry remains dormant:
http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_showuphere02.jpg

Similarly, when I right click in white space inside any one folder,
the "user cmd" shows up but the "admin command" remains hidden:
http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_showuphere03.jpg

Yet, when I right click on a folder, both finally show up:
http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_showuphere04.jpg

And, neither shows up when I right click on a file:
http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=18_showuphere05.jpg

I already posted the successful REG file, where below is that "Open command
window here (admin)" INF file.

I suspect there are few to no real computerists on this ng who have the
skills (or wish to use them) to prove the entire group's tribal archives
with a modification of that INF file which enables the "open command window
here (admin)" INF to work on any object like the "open command window here"
REG file already does.

Certainly I don't have those computerist skills (maybe Char Jackson has the
skills, or perhaps even Nil, or Diesel, or J.P. Gilliver, or Frank
Slootweg, or Wolf K.).
