Command Prompt on Right-Click

This comes in handy for some of us. I don't always use Micosoft based PC's I lean more towards Linux but there are time when in Windows this little trick comes in handy. Sure it's not that hard to open up a cmd prompt but the problem is, when a command prompt window is launched, the default path is normally the system path or the user profile's path. Then we have to do all the "cd" commands to change the directories to the path we want. Doing this will add an option called "Command Prompt" when you right-click on a folder in Windows. With this option, a Command Prompt Window will launch and its current directory will be the path to the folder you've selected. Very Happy
