Window Explorer - Context Menu - Command Prompt

[Falcon Speed]

I can add the following to the registry so that when I right-click on a directory, it would open a command prompt right at that folder level.

So here is my question. What is it in Windows XP that allows this but not in Windows 7?


I can put this into the registry:

cmd.exe /c cd %1

and it works.

In Windows 7, I have to put this into the registry:

cmd.exe /c pushD %L cd %1

and it works. Otherwise, when opening a different drive, it would result back to "C:\Windows\System32"

Why do I have to have PUSHD and it worked with out it in Windows XP?

It could be related to UAC or the restricted command prompt.

Falcon Speed--The Win7 Registry is quite different from the Vista and WinXp Registries.
But more on PushD

I don't think it is UAC because I turn it off already. OH CRAP! Did I just said that? hahahaha!


Thanks Welshjim.
