Use the tweaks at your own risk.

The oldest advice is still the best advice:

Back up the registry and have a valid restore point before editing the registry

; XP Tweaks Collection.

; This file is segmented into these sections:

; - General Settings

; - General Customation

; - Startup / Shutdown

; - Logon

; - Start Menu

@="Command Prompt Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt Here\command]
