Registry Tweak

This one works on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Right click on any folder to run the Command Prompt.

Open notepad and copy paste the following:

;Adds the 'command prompt open here' to shellfolders
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="Command Prompt Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd]
@="Open Command Window Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\""

Save the file with .reg extension. Then double click the file to add it to Windows registry. Press OK when prompted by Windows.
