In the old days, there was a plug in for your right click menu that was called Command Prompt Here. It simple meant that if you right-clicked inside a folder or on the desktop and chose this option, then you be at the command prompt but also in the current folder. This was a real time saver because you didn’t have to go hunt down CMD.EXE in the start menu.
In Windows 7, this is built right in. All you have to do is hold down the shift key before you right click and then you have it. Its a very useful thing to know if you use CMD a lot. It’s also worth noting that this opens the command prompt with administrator privileges, which is another bonus.
