Add Command Prompt Here shortcut in the windows explorer menu

If you need to execute a command from a DOS shell and don't want to manually type your way through the path it's handy to have a command prompt here available in the Windows Explorer context menu.

This enables you to write click on a particular folder and select command prompt here in order to open in that folder.

Copy the text between the *'s below into a text file using notepad and name it as CommandPromptHere.inf.

Then right click on the file and Select Install as shown…
