Nice tip :)
You can also use the Windows PowerToy "Open command window here" ;)

If anyone is interested, there is a way to enter a console, studio.net
console or directx console context in a specific folder by right clicking
on
any folder in MyComputer.
*** NOTE: Be forewarned though - it involves editing the registry and I am
not going to be held resposible for anything that goes wrong as a result
of
this post - so use at your own risk. This is also version specific so
there
may have to be some searching performed to find the right files.
Anyways here is the way to do so:
for regular console :
open the registry and navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\
create a key with the following name: Open.Console.Folder
edit the default value for this key and put: open console
create a sub key with the following name: command
edit the default value for this key and put: cmd /k cd %1
for visual studio console
open the registry and navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\
create a key with the following name: Open.VStudio.Folder
edit the default value for this key and put: open vstudio
create a sub key with the following name: command
edit the default value for this key and put: cmd /k call "[path to
vcvars32.bat]" && cd %1
[path to vcvars32.bat] should be something like:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat
the quotes are necessary to allow access to folders with spaces in their
names
for directx console
open the registry and navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\
create a key with the following name: Open.DirectX.Folder
edit the default value for this key and put: open directx
create a sub key with the following name: command
edit the default value for this key and put: cmd /k call "[path to
dx_setenv.cmd]" && cd %1
[path to dx_setenv.cmd] should be something like:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (April
2005)\Utilities\Bin\dx_setenv.cmd
the quotes are necessary to allow access to folders with spaces in their
names
Once all of the above steps have been done correctly for version specific
configurations, and a right click is performed on a folder in My Computer,
a
few
new menuitems should appear and when clicked will open the respective
console
windows.
