Vista Trick: Open Command Window from Explorer

   Anyone remember the XP Power toy that would allow you to right-click a directory in Windows Explorer and open a command prompt from that location? Well here's a nifty little Vista trick I picked up today that not only provides the same solution the Power Toy did, but is also built right into the OS. Simply locate the directory you want to open in a compand prompt, hold down the Shift key and then right click. You will get one new option in the dialogue box that says "Open Command Window Here". Viola!

Running with Windows Vista

Over the past week, I have transitioned to Windows Vista at work. So far it's not too bad. I did, however, have to jump through a lot of hoops to make everything work on it. It's pretty fancy shmancy and there is actually a lot of good functionality to it. Give it a year, once everyone catches up to it, and it'll be a great OS.

Also, it seems to have a great effect on the cleanliness of people's cubicles. I guess a clean OS makes you want to have a clean surrounding. Hey, I fell for it, too.
