does anyone know of a method to add a button onto the toolbar in order to open the CMD program pointed at the currently explored directory? similar to what exists in Linux.

Code:

REGEDIT4 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\DosHere] 
@="Command &Prompt Here" 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\DosHere\command] 
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""

not exactly what you want, this adds the 'Command Prompt from here' option to your right click menu, so right click a folder and you can open a cmd prompt from there

add that to a text file and rename it to a .reg file then apply

 

sorry phoenix. im totally inexperienced with altering the registry. would it be possible for you to break it down into a step by step process?

Thanks

EDIT: actually, i just realised i installed a program called shell toys on the august issue of PCPRO's DVD which has the same option in the right click menu

 

err i thought i did break it down lol

just copy the text to a txt file

rename it to a .reg file
and double click it

tada

but yeah its the same feature you will get with stuff lik shell toys and powerXP or whatver that craps called these days

 

ah ok, i get ya now! will bear it in mind for future. thanks
