Eh Folks, I know there are a lot of freeware which will open DOS
prompts in the folder you click on the left pane of explorer (via the
context menu).
What I would like is a freeware which will give you a right click menu
choice on the right side of the explorer window, which will not only
open a DOS prompt, but populate it with say the executable file on
which you are right clicking.
Does anybody know of such a thing?
