How To: Add Command Promp In Context Menu Windows XP
Back when I used windows xp I spent hours in command prompt running DOS commands and accessing folders (since before I used xp I still had my second main computer running on MS DOS).In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make a link appear in your contextual menu (right click menu) that will open command prompt in one click, taking away the hassle of having to go to Start > Run and type CMD.
1) Open Registry Editor by going to Start > Run and running the command regedit.
2) Find access to this path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshell
3) Right click on the shell folder and choose New > Key.
4) Name the new key Command Prompt.
5) Right click on Command Prompt folder and choose New > Key.
6) Name it Command.
7) In the right page of the Registry Editor window, double click on the Default file.
8) Type Cmd.exe /k cd “%1? then click OK.
You can close the registry editor window now, a good way to test the command prompt is selecting a folder and right clicking it, then select Command Prompt..it should be able to let you see the files inside in DOS.
