Little secrets in Vista: Open command prompt here

Do you often need a shell and have to change the path every time? Vista offers you a remedy, albeit somewhat hidden!

[By Raimund Machacek]

Again, it's the little things in Vista that make your work easier. I would like to introduce you to a feature that is particularly helpful if you often need a command prompt (shell) and often have to change the path.

To do this, simply right-click on the folder and hold down the Shift key (Shift key) is pressed. A new item appears "Open command prompt here". If you now click on it, a new shell will open, which conveniently points to this path.

At the same time, a new menu item "Copy as path" available - also a useful function.
