With this registry edit you can easily open the current folder in prompt without going through any Change Directory commands (cd). This is useful for people like me who are programming in JAVA, and every time to create class files and test them I have a diificult time just entering the commands in Prompt.

But if you don't want to use this registry edit you can create the directory in C:\ drive like C:\files so you have to navigate very little in prompt.

If you are experienced in regedit you can do it yourself shown below OR download the attachment and apply it. I tested this on Windows XP and it works.

Just copy paste this code in to your favourite text editor:



Then save the file as .reg extension and apply it. Before applying .reg extension go to "Tools" > "Folder Options…" > "View" tab and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

Note:The code will represent the text on right click menu (you can change the text) and will tell to open command prompt at the current folder when it is clicked.


Here's the file   command_prompt_to_every_folder.zip ( 348bytes ) Number of downloads: 3
to apply if you don't want to do as above.

If you have any doubts please post here or mail me.

That's pretty cool, and I think you could use that for anyone that uses CMD a lot.

But for Java, you could always just get Eclipse or something...
