"I was trying to add "command" to the list of
actions when I right click on a folder in the left pane of
windows explorer. I wanted to be able to right click on
any folder and click on "command" to launch DOS with
the command line already pointing to the directory I
was in."
Add Command Line to the right click (Line 26)
