Add "Open Command Prompt Here" in Windows Vista Context Menu

Geeks love to mess around with Command Prompt every now and then. So here we bring you a simple tip that will add "Open Command Prompt Here" to the Windows Vista right-click menu which will enable to launch command prompt directly from a folder you are currently browsing.


There are two ways to achieve this:

  • Only when you need - Simply hold down the SHIFT key while right clicking a folder. You'll see the option "Open Command Prompt Here"
  • Permanent- Follow this method if you want to bypass the above method and want the command prompt option permanently displayed. Open notepad and copy the following text to it (the text in green):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open Command Prompt Here\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"


Save the file as cmdhere.reg on the desktop. Exit notepad and double-click this file. You will be asked for confirmation to modify the registry. Simply approve it and you should see the changes taking place immediately. Right clicking any folder will give you the option "Open Command Prompt Here"

Speed up IE7 by increasing simulteneous connections

When you connect to a website your computer establishes connections with the web server(s). One connection might be a graphics server, another connection may be an ad server and so on. Once the connection has received what it asked for it is disconnected and used for something else.


By default IE7 is set to only be able to open 2 or 4 connections at a time. If you have broadband and you use tabs in IE7 or you visit sites that use lots of connections this tweak will increase the speed of IE7 a little.

You can easily increase the number of simultaneous connections with the following trick.

Open notepad and paste the code below in it (code in green).


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] MaxConnectionsPerServer”=dword:00000010 MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server”=dword:0000010


Save this file as fastnet.reg (or any other name, but make sure to give it a .reg extension) on your desktop. Exit notepad and doubleclick this file. The information in this file will merge with windows registry and will increase the number of simulteneous connections allowed in Internet Explorer.

This trick works with all versions of and above IE 5. Please be noted that this trick doesn't double the speed or something like that, but you will definitely notice better speed.

Disable Windows Defender in Vista

Even if Windows Defender is offered for free and it has decent protection features, some people might prefer other applications to secure their system from spyware and other threats. In this case there is no point in having two similar applications running at the same time, both of them consuming system resources. This is why disabling Windows Defender can be a good idea.

This is how you do it:
  • Launch Windows Defender and go to Tools -> Options.
  • Here you will find a lot of configuration options. Scroll down to the end of the list. You will find there a section called Administrator options. Deselect the Use Windows Defender box and press the Save button.
  • If UAC is turned on, you will need to confirm that you want to continue with the change.
  • Now you will receive a notification saying that "Windows Defender is turned off". Click on Close and you are done.

Disable File Delete Confirmation in Windows Vista

Every time you delete a file, Windows asks you "Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin?" This is typically a good thing, to prevent you from deleting files by accident, but if you are trying to do some cleanup and need to delete a lot of files, you might not want to be prompted every single time.

There's a simple way to turn it off. Follow these steps:
  • Just right-click on your Recycle Bin and choose Properties from the menu.
  • Now you'll see the Trash Properties dialog, and notice the "Display delete confirmation dialog" at the bottom.
  • Just uncheck the box, and close the dialog. No more confirmations!
