"DOS prompt" in the context menu

The following registry edit will put a context menu (right click) item which will drop you into the CLI at the directory you are looking at in Windows Explorer.

  1. navigate the registry
    key = HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory
  2. create the following key
    • name = "msdos"
    • value = "DOS &PROMPT"
  3. create another key under the "msdos" key
    • name = "command"
    • value = "command.com /k %1"
