I really do like that this is included in Vista without the need of a powertoy, but is there any way to use it to get an elevated command prompt? Sometimes you just need full Admin rights, and having a way to do that would be very nice.

It would also be great if this worked in the TreeView to the left if you choose Show Folders in the shell...

I think I remember there being a way to get all command prompts to run the vsvars batch file so that the command prompt is actually usable. Do you remember what this is? I think it was a registry setting...

re: Windows Vista Secret #1: Open Command Prompt Here

tims — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 02:22:39 GMT

Josh, you're correct - it's a registry setting.

In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor, add a new String value named AutoRun. Set the contents to the batch file you'd like to run (e.g. d:\tools\mycustomvsvars.cmd).

Nice posts on this and Copy As Path - makes me want to install Vista on my main PC!

Re "if the target folder is a network location, Windows Vista silently maps a network drive" - just wanted to share the tip that "pushd" will do this from the command line. It's like "cd" but accepts network paths. "popd" will unmap the drive. (This is not new for Vista though, it's available on XP's command shell and maybe earlier).

Unfortunately, the usefulness of this feature is limited because it will not work from folders or drives in the "Folder Pane" of Windows Explorer as it did in the Power Toy version for Windows XP.

For a way to add the full Power Toy functionality, consult my blog at http://vistahacks.wordpress.com

My technique does does not automatically map network drives though.

Now, if only Vista's cmd.exe didn't need to create a temporary drive mapping for network paths, THAT would be useful.

You guys are idiots. This is not a vista secret. You don't need vista or powertoys for command prompt here. Its just a registry entry.

Hmm, it is cool it maps the drive for you, but sad at the same time that Windows still relies on assigning drive letters to work with network drive and the cmd prompt. There really shouldn't be any reason to do that anymore since the cmd prompt isn't really DOS anymore...?
