[small][i](Added by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=OlssonE]OlssonE [/url] on Tue 17-Dec-2002)[/i][/small] _______________________________________________ Well assuming the thing you want to do is adding a command called "Open Dos box from here" to the folders' context menu this is what you have to do: 1. Open the Registry editor (Start > Run > "regedit" > OK) 2. Navigate to the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshell" key 3. Add a new key and call it "Open Dos box from here" or whatever you want the option to read (Edit > New > Key) 4. Select the new key and create another one which you call "command" 5. In the "command" key, double-click "(default)" and enter this command: "cmd /k cd %1" Now when you open a folder's context menu in Explorer you should see a new option; click it and you have your Dos box. (PS: If this is the answer you were looking for then please let me know and I'll create a seperate FAQ node for the question to avoid confusion in here ;) ) -- [internallink=4853]kuckus[/internallink] [small][i](Edited by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=kuckus]kuckus [/url] on Tue 17-Dec-2002)[/i][/small] [internallink=4643]Tyberius Prime[/internallink]: In Windows 95,98 and ME, you'll need to replace the "cmd" with "command.com" [small][i](Edited by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Tyberius+Prime]Tyberius Prime [/url] on Wed 18-Dec-2002)[/i][/small] Oh yep, that's true.
