Opening a DOS Window to a Drive or Directory in Explorer

Add the following Registry Keys for a Directory: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\opennew

@=”Dos Prompt in that Directory”

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\opennew\command
@=”command.com /k cd %1″

Add or Edit the following Registry Keys for a Drive: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\opennew

@=”Dos Prompt in that Drive”

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\opennew\command
@=”command.com /k cd %1″

Either of these will allow you to right click on a drive or directory and give you a popup option for a dos prompt!
