ATTN ShadowSystems and MSDOS Query by Klaranth2011-09-03 07:37:36
  I believe so, yes. by ShadowSystems2011-09-03 07:50:24
    if you go into the directory you want by Klaranth2011-09-03 07:59:28
      In Theory, yes. In Practice, No. by ShadowSystems2011-09-03 08:16:09
        I've observed behavior in XP where by tonyz2011-09-03 08:30:50
          I only *wish* that were true with Vista. =-( by ShadowSystems 2011-09-03 09:13:47
I can be in a dir at C:\Users\ShadowSystems\My Documents\ebooks\Card, Orson Scott...
I'll Win+R, Command, [ENTER] and it's in *nowhere* even REMOTELY close.
I have to manually navigate to where I wanted to go, getting frustrated because it's a DOS terminal and doesn't support LFN's, and since it's case sensative, Docs and docs are *NOT* the same, even though Jaws can't really tell the difference either.
*sigh*

In XP I had a Right-Click Menu Option to "Open Prompt Here", and I wish I had it for Vista, too.
Hopefully it'll be an option in Windows 7, or can be added somehow, so I can stop manually navigating to get to where I wanted to be in the first place.
