I often find myself using the cmd prompt in Windows but the annoying thing is always having to change directories to a certain one so I can either FTP data etc. If you remember the powertoy in Windows 2000 of commang prompt here; it is now built into Microsoft's Windows 7 along with Vista (if anyone is still running that OS anymore).
Simply hold down the shift button and right click the folder you want the command prompt to be in and that is it.
Very simple way to get the command prompt already in the proper folder without having to change directories all day long.
Enjoy
