How to turn on "CMD Prompt here" option

[Guest]

Hi

In some PC running Windows XP Professional, when I right click a folder, there is a menu pop up and one of the option is "CMD prompt here" which will create a DOS window at the folder without using any "cd .....". This is a nice feature specially when the folder I want to go to is deep in the tree

However, my computer is also running XP professional but I don't see that option when I right click a folder. Does anyone know how to include that option in the right click menu

Thanks

P.S. I did try include a shotcut of cmd.exe to the "Send to" menu and do the same thing like above but the pop-up DOS window didn't take me to the folder directly; it took me to the folder where the cmd.exe file located.

Put this into sendto
cmd.exe /k cd

The feature you want is not part of Windows but added by a third party.

"CMD here". It's part of the MS Power toys.
