Re^5: [implementation specific to windows] writing a proper batch file for terminal start-up [WINDOWS RightClick tangent]

Windows right-click (tangent):

what I *really, really* miss is the ability in ubuntu to right click and "open terminal here."

open command window here should help you get the equivalent enabled in Windows. I additionally create an "Open this File's Directory" to the RClick menu for every file type by doing the following from a .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\OpenThisFilesDirectory]
@="Open This File's Directory"
"Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\cmd.exe"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\OpenThisFilesDirectory\com
+mand]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%W\""
[download]

Running that reg file builds the following key/value/data set:

    HKCU\Software\Classes\*\shell\OpenThisFilesDirectory
        (Default) [REG_SZ] = Open This File's Directory
        Icon [REG_SZ] = %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe

    HKCU\Software\Classes\*\shell\OpenThisFilesDirectory\command
        (Default) [REG_SZ] = cmd.exe /s /k pushd "%W"
[download]

(edit: s/\Q[tangent]\E/(tangent)/)
