OpenFolder
Introduction
OpenFolder is a context menu shell extension which I wrote quite a while ago, it provides a new menu item on the Context Menu under Windows Explorer.
The new menu item Open Command Prompt Here... will open a Command Prompt box at the location of the file/folder that was selected when the menu was clicked.
Once installed, right click on a file or folder in explorer (or most other applications), then click on the 'Open Command Prompt Here...' menu item.
A new Command Prompt will be opened in the selected folder.
Windows Vista and Windows 7
OpenFolder now supports Elevated Command Prompts if it detects that it is running on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or later Operating Systems, see the screen shot above for the new Open an Elevated Command Prompt Here... menu item.
Installing OpenFolder
Simply download the installer, run it and click on 'Next', 'Install' and 'Finish'.
