Suppose i want to create a menu item for folders which opens the command line in that folder, to that end i can add some keys in the registry, namely

HKLM > Software > Classes > Folder > Shell > cmd
HKLM > Software > Classes > Folder > Shell > cmd > command

Now if i only set the command i get this:

There be access keys

But i would like to indicate that this is opening an interactive dialog, so some ellipsis would be nice, if i edit the (Default) value or MUIVerb in cmd i get this:

There be no access keys

The C-access-key is gone. I tried something that is common in .NET, like "_cmd..." but apparently that won't do here and i do not know what will.
