You're a saint... I miss so much the "command prompt here" feat... I've used it since the first release of TweakUI... I love you for this... :)

For the rest... well, there's a lot of funny stuff... I'm only a bit afraid by this massive, huge, doc with all those spec... Hey, 200 pages is GARGANTUAN!

Indeed it is. That link is broken on the Wiley site too. I've let them know and will update the post as soon as I know where it should point.

Jesper: under "electronic version of chapter 1." I think there is wrong link

Vista actually includes "Command Prompt Here", but it's not as easy as one might like (not as easy as I would). It doesn't work in the Folders list - only in the main pane. And you have to hold down "Shift" while right-clicking.

I'm playing with this now and finding that Shift/right-click on files gives you additional context menu items that look interesting -- like "Copy as Path" and "Add to Quick Launch"!

The "Open Command Window Here" has been included in Windows Vista anyway (at least it has on Business edition).

All you need to do is hold Left Shift when you right-click on a folder in the right pane of Explorer. Granted this isn't as good as the tweak that allows it to appear without holding Left Shift and in both panes of Explorer.
