STEP2:-Navigate to [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] in the registry editor.

STEP3:- create a new key under "shell" and name it "Command Prompt".

STEP4:-In the right pane modify the value of "Default" by right clicking on it and then "Modify". In the
             "Value data" field write "Command Prompt here".

 

STEP5:-Similerly create a new key under "Command Prompt" and name it "command".
             Select the new key you've just created and modify "Default" similarly and put the follwoing code
             in the "Value data" field.
             "cmd.exe /k cd %1"
