Recently I worked under linux and there is a feature that I like very much. I can open a shell by making right click inside the window and choosing a corresponding option from menu. Is there a way to add something similar in Windows?

If you shift-right-click in the folder (not on a file) you should see the option

'Open a Command Window here'

Available in Vista and above.
