Command Prompt Here

Summary

I am a die-hard command-line fan. Even with tab-completion of long file names, it is still a pain to navigate around. This is a tip to get a "Command Prompt Here" menu item in the context menu of Windows Explorer.

Detail

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.
