Where to find context-sensitive "Open DOS" prompt
Just open up your registry at:-
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory ....then under a sub-key called "Shell" that you will find there create another sub-key (by either right-click or MenuEditNew) and name it say "DOS_From_Here" - First step done! Now, create another sub-key within that you have just made and call this one "command" (it must be "command"), that's step two. Now in the default value within this sub-key either double-click or select MenuEditModify and type in the full path to the file CMD.EXE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe and that's it. On each folder's right-click you will have an entry called "DOS_From_Here" which will open on the appropriate folder when selected. If in doubt over any of this, look at how other entries are constructed under the Shell key within HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory -- Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. |

Where to find context-sensitive "Open DOS" prompt
P.S. Someone will surly point out to me the need for a /c cd "%1"
parameter at the end of the line pointing to the file CMD.EXE like:- "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c cd "%1"" However - I have found this not to be at all necessary in WinXP it works just as well without it, but if you have a problem with this, please add it. -- Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. |

P.P.S. My mistake, again, it should be a /k not a /c in the line. The
line should have read:- "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /k cd "%1"" sorry bout that! -- Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. |

To "ju.c",
Thankyou for your informative suggestions not to "delete previous posts". After reading a post from "Al Falfa" I now know what you're on about. To inform you that I never "deleted" anything - it is just that I chose not to have checked the box marked "include message in reply" in Outlook Express. So it was a case of me NOT doing something I should have done, rather than DOING something I should not have. Please note that I have now included the message text in my reply and for which I had to alter settings in order for that to happen. I do hope you are pleased. One more I will say it - I have never deleted anything - just not included your message in the reply, so it seems, is a bit of a crime around here! -- Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London.
