Thanks! I depend on that on my XP computer, and I've been missing it on
my Windows 7 machine. I knew there had to be a way of having that
choice available on the context menu, but I hadn't found it yet.

Thanks Glennbo, Nice catch! I just got my legit copies of w7 64 bit monday
and did the final install yesterday on the core i7. The past couple of
weeks I've just been playing around in the gui and the command prompt hasnt
crossed my path yet, but I know it will soon. This will save me the
aggrevation.

Mine wasn't hidden ... it's under accessories ... pinned it to the
taskbar ...

It's not in your accessories folder ?

That's not the same thing. Glennbo is talking about having a "Command
prompt here" choice on the context menu when you right-click on any
folder in Windows Explorer. That was never an option with any earlier
version of Windows, although there was a well-known registry hack to
put it there. In Windows 7, you can get it by holding the Shift key
when you right-click, but with this hack, you can make it always
accessible, no shift key needed.

Interesting. I'd been using cmd from the start menu or a shortcut.
Haven't needed "open command prompt here " yet but it's good to know.
