Useful tip.

Being a long time Linux user, i have always been a commandline fan and i find this right click option really useful where you can right click any folder and say give me a command prompt here and it does :)

Open Windows Explorer
Choose Tools → Folder Options...
Switch to the File Types tab
Select Folder from the list and press the Advanced button.
Choose New
Give it a nice name like "Command Prompt Here" and the application c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /K cd "%1"
OK, OK and OK to save it.

There are other ways to do this from regedit but this way is less risky. If you also like command line then trust me you guys are going to ABSOLUTELY LOVE the new Windows powershell ! I recently tried the beta and It's AMAZZZZINNNING ! more on that later.
