It would be handy if there was a hot key or context menu option that would launch a shell and cd me to whatever directory the focused explorer window is currently viewing.

Anyone have an idea?

Hm, that's cool. Must be a new Windows 7 feature. It's not happening in XP. – SaintWacko Dec 13 '11 at 17:20
This also works in Vista. – surfasb Dec 13 '11 at 18:18

You might also like the ContextConsole shell extension.

Features over the built-in support:

  • Open an elevated command prompt
  • Open a command prompt by clicking in the background of any open Explorer window -- no more going up a level to get a window to the directory you really want or mousing over to the much smaller target in the folder tree
