Get Command Prompt on Right-Click

By Unknown
Frequent computer users and mostly programmers very often need to execute some dos/shell commands. The problem is, when a command prompt window is launched, the default path is normally the system path or the user profile's path. The users will then have to do all the "cd" commands to change the directories to the path they want.

This trick shows you how to add an option called "Command Prompt" when you right-click on a folder in Windows. With this option, a Command Prompt Window will be launched and its current directory will be the path to the folder you've selected.
