Power Toys Replacements

[micmac]

I am looking for replacements for XP Power Toys that will work in Windows 7. While I would welcome suggestions about *any* of the Power Toys, I particularly am in need of an equivalent to "Open Command Line Here". I frequently run a compile "make" file that may reside in various directories and needs to be invoked from a command line in the particular directory I am using at the moment. Help!

The Windows Club offers the free Ultimate Tweaker.

You can download it from this page.

The "open command line" feature is included in the UT under the additional tweaks tab.

Have a look at "Ultimate Windows Tweaker".

woops - I see that Steve beat me to it!

Another option is WinBubble 1.76. It was suggested in the book Windows 7 Secrets. Like Ultimate Windws Tweaker, which I just noticed is now up to version 2, WinBubble is just a single executable file to be run as needed. I really like that approach, and currently have both installed on my Windows 7 Home Premium system.
It's a netbook with an 8GB primary and 32GB secondary SSD, so needed lots of tweaking to fit and work well.

Press and hold the shift key while right-clicking on a folder and ``Open Command Window Here`` will appear as one of the items in the pop-up menu. No power toy required.

Great tip! Thanks.

X-SETUP PRO is great. I have used it for years. Costs $19.95 http://www.x-setup.net/

A utility that i found on download.com:

Create a new folder on your desktop, rename it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

If all works open the folder and it gives a whole host of tweaks to the win 7 system
