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:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;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.


This tweak is for Windows 2000 since this feature is already available on Windows XP. This will allow auto complete in Command Prompt as you type the name of the file or folder.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"CompletionChar"=dword:00000009
