Hello.
In Windows XP there is a power tweak that I can't find for Windows 2000. Can somebody tell me how to make a cmd, bat or reg file out of the procedure listed below so that I can open a command window wherever I am in the explorer? (preferably a reg file) 1. In Windows Explorer, open the Tools » Folder Options menu item. 2. Select the File Types tab. 3. Press the letter ‘n’ on your keyboard to scroll to the N/A section. 4. Select the entry labeled Folder. 5. Click the Advanced button. 6. Click the New button. 7. In the action field, type “Command Prompt” (without the quotes). 8. In the application field, type “cmd.exe” (without the quotes). 9. Save all your changes (click OK on each dialog) and exit the Folder Options dialog. Once I perform thos steps, I'm able to right click a folder and select the “Command Prompt” menu item to open a command window. That's what I want in my unattended W2K install, but I don't know how to automate this. |

This really isn't the best place to ask such a question, but nonetheless, here you go mate :
CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt Here] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt Here\Command] @="cmd.exe /k cd %1"  Edit : Beaten by 7yler This post has been edited by Martin H: May 17 2008, 07:01 PM |

Another approach, that I find useful:

Yesterday my comment wasn't accepted so... hopefully I can express my gratitude today.
May you also be helped in your endeavours as much as you help others. Thank you very much, you gave me just what I needed.
