How to get the entry "Dos Box" in the explorer context menu


Open the context menu of the explorer with a right mouse click.
Get the entry "DosBox" on a directory to open a dos box or command prompt here.
Open regedit
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Create a new key called e.g. DosBox.
For the default value, enter e.g. DosBox.
Create a new key beneath the DosBox key called Command.
Set the default value of the key Command to Cmd.exe /k pushd %L.
That value will launch Cmd.exe, which is the XP command prompt.
The /k switch puts the prompt into interactive mode.
The command prompt isn't being used to issue only a single command and then exit.
The pushd command stores the name of the current directory.
and %L uses that name to start the command prompt at it.
Exit the Registry.
The new menu option will show up immediately.
Note that it won't appear when you right-click a file.
It shows up only when you right-click a folder.
