Face it DanS, you're one of the sickest POS to ever post in any ng. Only
a weak coward, who, when cornered in an argument about Vista, would turn
to insulting my family because you disagree with my opinion.
You have no character, none. You are the vile, disgusting, filth spewing
son of a bitch you accuse me of being.
I'm sure you would not have the balls to say your insults to my face.
You're proly a fat, sawed off, little dicked, pimply faced, sick asshole
who lives in your parents basemen.
Try to get a real life cause it's evident you currently don't have one.

Not so in Windows 7. Maybe Vista too, I don't recall.

One example: in Windows Explorer, Right-Click on a folder doesn't reveal
"Open command window here", but Shift-Right-Click does.

On my Win7 and XP machines, "Open with. . ." is there without using the
Shift key, but only for some files. Not all files will even show "Open with.
.. .". .txt and .log files have both options, but .bat files only have
"Open." .jpg files only have the "Preview" option.

On my Win 7 machine, on the unshifted menu a bat file shows both Open and
Edit and there is a total of 21 items. Well, one of them is 7-Zip, so I
know that one, at least, is not native.

While I was there, I noticed that adding the shift key adds these two
options to the bat file's context menu:

Run as different user
Copy as path

I should have remembered the second one in my earlier post, since I do use
it occasionally.

I am beginning to suspect from this batch file experience that, as in
fingerprints, no two machines are alike :)

Seriously - if your machine behaves one way and mine another just for bat
files, how long would it take for us to track down all differences? Or at
least to demonstrate that there are no others?

Then there are the questions (well, it's only one question, but with
ramifications!): what does Windows present for options in the Shift and
Shiftless versions of the context menu for the two or three (hah!)
different file types that exist in Windows?

My mother said it best: "Oy weh!"

On .bat files, mine shows Edit also. I didn't mention it since the
discussion was more on the properties Open and Open With.
My unshifted right-click has 18 items (7-Zip for me also), shifted 21- the
two you have, plus Pin to Start Menu.
And you're right- there isn't enough time left before the sun goes nova to
list all the differences between your machine and mine, much less the
differences between XP and 7.

LOL!! I haven't heard anyone say "Oy weh!" since I left Baltimore 30 years
ago. :)

On my Win7, "open command prompt from here" is available without using the
Shift key, but I think I used this registry edit:

"How to display the option by default?
You can configure the registry such that the Open Command Window Here option
is shown when you simply right-click on a file system folder, irrespective
of the SHIFT key status.
To do so, follow the steps below:
Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd
Backup the branch, in case you need to undo the setting later
In the right-pane, delete the REG_SZ value named Extended
Close Regedit.exe
The Open Command Window Here option should now appear whenever you
right-click (with or without the SHIFT key pressed) on a file system
folder."

One less key to press :)

On Windows 2000 I had to add some registry keys (see below) but I like
your way better. Is there any way to edit the displayed menu text? I
would like to shorten "Open command window here."

W2K registry tweak, which will work in Win7, but is no longer needed:

----------------command.reg----------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Command Prompt]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\Command Prompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %1"
---------------------------------------------------

Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\Command Prompt and change the Default
value to whatever you want. Mine just says "CMD here." That's all I need; no
one uses this machine but me.

You must lead a charmed life :)

I have lived in Ballimer, but not since '048 (1948 - the 0 was a
bit-o-whimsy).

Lately, I think I've heard people from there pronounce it Baltimore. Has
that changed since my day?

When I lived there, it was mostly pronounced BAW-di-mer, unless they were
from the Eastern Shore in which case it was mostly BAW-mur. Somehow the
middle syllable got lost in translation :)

Not a lot of older Jews around my area (near Parris Island, SC). Most of
them live down on Hilton Head Island, I believe, which is quite a bit out of
my SSI league. One of the guys I play tennis with is a self-proclaimed "New
Yawk Jew," but since he enjoys a plate of good pork barbecue now and again,
I can't see him saying "oy vey."

No claims that I'm right, but I've always heard (and read somewhere)
the pronunciation BALL-mur.

And that's long led me to wonder whether Steve Ballmer's name was a
corrupted version of "Baltimore."

So if that's true, his true name would be something like Steven Lord
Baltimore? LOL!!
You never know, it very well could have been Baltimore in his ancestry.

Or Steven *something*, Lord Baltimore. For example, like George
Gordon, Lord Byron.

That's my guess, but I have no idea whether I'm right.

Sometimes I swear to gods I don't believe in...I could see myself saying
"Oy, weh, this is a tough porkchop" :)

Although "Oy Wey" is not swearing. As I suspect you know, it's short for
"Oy, weh iz mir", or in German, "Ach, Weh ist mir", or in English, "Oh woe
is me".
