Opening a Command Prompt to a Particular Directory from Explorer

If you want to open a command prompt to a directory that is selected in the Explorer:

Start Regedit Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ Directory \ shell Create a new key called Command Give it the value of the name you want to appear in the Explorer. Something like Open DOS Box Under this create a new key called command Give it a value of " cmd.exe cd %1 " (no quotes) Now when you are in the Explorer, right click on a folder, select Open DOS Box, and a command prompt will open to the selected directory.

Reg file
