I used to have an option whereby RH click on a directory in Windows Explorer
would include the option 'Open Command Window Here'. This would open an DOS
command window in the selected directory.
Any ideas how to implement this?

So why is the M$ d/l a 514K exe file ?

The following 2 registry line do that same thing.


Just paste it into a file with a .reg extension and 'merge'.
