@ Ilíon:
I tried adding them to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas\command], but i see no effect. Right-clicking the blank background area of a explorer files window still does not provide a dialog entry to start a command prompt in the -current- explorer path. Does anyone know the correct registry entries to do so in winXP? Please and thank you.

Christine,
I *think* you can accomplish that by making the appropriate Registry changes under the keys [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\runas\command]

Subject: CMD @ BG-sR-Click?
Body:
Hello, i can see you have an extensive page on running command prompts at selected folders.
However i (a windows XP user), wish to add to my explorer, the function of shift-right-clicking the white background space (no files or folders selected). to receive a “Start Command Prompt Here” (or in my case, “CMD Prompt here” option.

I want to stress that this is requested feature is desired neither inside the “Folder View Frame” nor is it wanted when a file or folder is shift-Right-clicked in the “Files frame”. It is to appear Only, when the background of the current “Files frame” background is shift-Right-clicked.

Could you please instruct me as to how this can be done or point me in a direction so i can find out? thank you.

Oops. I meant “Extended”=”"

I don’t actually know what “NoWorkingDirectory”=”" does. Does anybody know?

Thanks for the information.

Adding “NoWorkingDirectory”=”" makes the context menu entry only appear with SHIFT clicking, like the standard CMD one. This is useful if you want to keep your menus clean.
