Windows Vista Secret : Open Command Prompt Here

Tim Sneath has posted a great Windows Vista tip:

Here’s a trick that I don’t think many people are aware of. Right-click on any folder on your Windows Vista machine while holding down the shift key. You’ll see an extra context-sensitive menu item there: Open Command Prompt here. Just click on this menu and a command window will open with the current working directory set to the folder’s actual location.


Figure: folder context-sensitive menu, with and without the shift key modifier.

I am a big fan of this, the Powertoy to install this functionality on Windows XP was always one of the first things I installed on Windows XP.

Digg!
