Add 'Command Prompt Here' when you right-click in Explorer

This article has 1,248 views

Open your favourite registry editor (regedit will do just fine)

Go to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"
Locate the "Folder" key
Open the "shell" branch
Create a new key called "Command Prompt Here"
Open this key and create a new key called "command"
Open "command" and double click the "default" entry (REG_SZ)
Type the following : 

cmd.exe /k pushd %L

Close regedit. 

You don't need to restart the computer to activate this.  Just open Explorer, right click on a folder and choose "Command Prompt Here".  This will open a Command Prompt, in the location of the currently selected folder.
