I was browsing one of my new favorite websites, Microsoft's Script Repository, when I came upon the Add "Command Prompt Here" to Windows Explorer" Web page.  This script adds a "Command Prompt Here" command to the Windows Explorer system menu, so that if you select the command, a command window will open up in the same folder.  Nifty, eh?  Yes, I know, this has been around for quite awhile and is nothing new.  But, with a little twist, this can become a lot more useful.

Personally, I never use "cmd.exe" by itself.  I always use the "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt", as it has all the useful and fun PATHs already added to it.  So, with a small tweak to the script, we get the following enhancement:

Very handy!

Here's the script (it's so simple that I'm embarassed to share it!):

As I said, pretty simple, but oh so useful!
