1) Go to Run, and type in: "Regedit.exe"

2) Click Ok, and open up the Registry Editor

3)Locate "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Folder\Shell"

• Note: Make a backup of the Shell key and export it to your desktop or somewhere you can remember. Click on shell to highlight it, then go to File> Export, then save.
  

4) Create a new Key (folder) inside of the "Shell" Key. Name this "Command Prompt" or whatever the text you want to show up in the right click menu.
(Ex: Cmd, Command, Cmd Prompt, etc...)

5) Create a new key inside of the key you just created, and name it "command"

6) Right click on the string value, and click on "Modify"

7) Change the value to "cmd.exe /k pushd %1"

8) Exit registry editor, and right click on a file somewhere on your computer to look for the new option added.

That's a pretty neat tutorial you have there, it could come very useful.

Thanks, I only found it useful because if you have a perl script that you want to locate quickly, and the file you want to open in cmd prompt for example is inside of 10 different folders/directories, then you could just go to the file and open cmd prompt from the file, so that the directory of the file you want to execute is already located in the command line.

Perl for educational purposes of course That was just my example. Theres lots of uses for this, and adding this to your registry makes this act as a shortcut to make everything that much faster.

That is a pretty great tutorial you got there, OP.
I might use this in my next application which will be a notepad only for SupportForums.
I plan on making it when you click on the file "hehe.sf" it actually opens it with the notepad I'm going to program.

Great tutorial. To make video tutorials better, add voice! I noticed you also added a brief text tutorial, which helps a lot if the video goes to fast.

You can add almost anything to the context menu as long as you know the values to input for them and a directory to look for the executable file that is supposed to run. Most aren't really necessary though, I just found this one helped me out with a few shortcuts if you work in cmd prompt a lot

Glad you enjoyed it!
