Re: "Command Window Here" question

I re-downloaded and re-installed but it evidently is the same as I already
had.
My question was: where is the shell command so I can edit it such that a
startup batch file (e.g. autoexec.bat) can be run when the "Open Command
Window Here" on the explorer menu (right click) is selected.
Also how do I get rid of the "DosHere" menu choice, since it does not work.
