Command prompt contet menu

[Leeoniya]

The following adds "command prompt" to right click context menu on folders.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Command prompt]
@="Command prompt"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Command prompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\""

my question is: is it possible to add "command prompt" to the context menu when right clicking inside the window of an open folder but not on the folder itself or any object in it. (the menu that has New, View, Arrange Icons By, Properties, Refresh)

it is painful at a high resolution to have to hit the tiny icon with your mouse in the corner of the folder window to right click it.

Do you mean something like this?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\DosHere]
@="Command Prompt in containing folder"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\DosHere\Command]
@="cmd.exe /t:70 cd %~d1%~p1"

This

Remove the /t:70 to have default white letters on black screen

that's closer - that adds the prompt to the context menu on any file inside of a folder view and on the desktop...but if i right click inside empty space in the folder window and not a file in it, i still see the same old menu.

one example is if you go into the "Documents and Settings" folder, and right click inside that view, it will have a "Customize This Folder" in the context menu. thats where i want to add cmd, but i looked for "Customize This Folder" in my entire registry and couldnt find where that entry is made.

thanks,

Leon
