Console automation

Hi

How do we create a registry key so that while browsing folders in the
Explorer, we right-click a folder/directory, select a context menu item,
and open a console window (DOS prompt) that has navigated to that folder
(i.e. executed a "cd /d path-to-folder" command)?

Thanks

- Open Control Panel Folder Options File Types tab
- Highlight "Folder" ( Not File Folder)
- Click Advanced button then New
- Enter a name in "Action"
- Copy/Paste the following in "Application used ..." :
cmd.exe /k cd /d "%1"
- Click OK OK




Good Luck, Ayush.
