My OS is Windows Vista. I want to be able to access the command prompt from any folder in Windows Explorer by right clicking on the folder. I downloaded your DosHere zip file and followed your instructions to open the .zip file and right-click on the .inf file. When I right-clicked on the .inf file, the only choices were Open Cut Copy Delete Properties. I double-clicked on the .inf file and it opened it in Notepad and displayed the code. What am I doing wrong?
