A Command Prompt everywhere
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to add a Command prompt command to the menu you get when you right-click a folder? Selecting the command would then open a Command Prompt window at the folder path. No problem.

Run Windows NT Explorer (or open My Computer) and choose View, Options. When the Options dialog box opens, click the File Types tab. Now locate Folder and select it. Click Edit. Click New to open the New Action dialog box.

Type Command Prompt in the Action: entry box, and type cmd.exe in the Application Used to Perform Action: entry box. Click OK, and when you get back to the Edit File Type dialog box, click OK again. Back in Options, click Close.

Now you can right-click a folder and choose Command Prompt to open a Command Prompt window at that folder's path. For example, C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\Desktop\Myfolder.
