Add 'Open command prompt here' option to Windows Server 2008


Add 'Open command prompt here' option to Windows Server 2008

Eeek, we need to dive into the registry for this!



1 Find the key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd

Rename the key Extended to Extende-Orig


2 Find the key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd

Rename the key Extended to Extende-Orig


That should work immediately.
