Hi&lt;/p&gt;

The "power toy" is a registry entry
&lt;code&gt;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cmd]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cmd\Command]
@="cmd.exe /K \"cd %L\""
&lt;/code&gt;
and is insanely useful. To be able to right-click on the directory and pop the command line saves a great deal of time.&lt;/p&gt;

Getting a bash shell would probably be even better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\bash shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\bash shell\Command]
@="cmd /C \"cd /d %L &amp;&amp; c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe\""

&lt;/code&gt;
