That's an interesting idea -- certainly a unique approach to one of the hassles of programming under Windows.

A couple of years ago I accidentally discovered the trick of dragging an icon (folder or file) onto a command window.  Ever since then, whenever I want to change directory to some visible folder, I go to the command window and type "cd ", and then drag the folder onto the command shell, and type <newline>.  It also works for an open folder, by dragging the miniature folder icon from its upper left corner.  Naturally, it lets you do anything to a file or folder in DOS that you could have done visually.

Of course, it being Windows, even though you're dragging text onto a command-shell, and thus changing its contents, it still doesn't select the window; you still have to click on the window right after dragging.  I gotta say, the more I use Windows, the more I appreciate Linux ... :)
