This one’s essential: getting a command prompt for where you are in the Explorer on any folder under Windows nt/2k. I don’t understand why it’s not part of the OS, though these instructions are pretty widely available now.
To enable the command prompt feature, you’ll have to edit the registry. If you don’t know what that means, then don’t try it. If you do try it, be careful or you can break things you don’t want to have to fix.
Create a new text file and call it “command.reg” (select any appropriate name for the .reg file).
Right-click the file and select Edit.
Copy and paste the following code into the file.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command]
@=”Command &Prompt”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command]
@=”cmd.exe \\\”%1\\\”"
