Enable Open Command Window Here Option in Context Menu in Windows Vista and 7

In Windows Vista and 7, if you press <SHIFT> key and right-click on any folder, you get some extra options like "Open Command Window Here", etc. In this tutorial, I'll tell you how to enable "Open Command Window here" option as default in context menu in without having the <SHIFT> key pressed. 1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box and press Enter. Now goto:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd

2. Now in right-side pane, you'll get a String value Extended. Delete it and this option will be enabled in Directories as well as Drives context menus.
PS: If you also want to enable this option at desktop, then do the same for following key too:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmd
