Windows Console in Explorer Context Menu

Windows Console in Explorer Context Menu Is there a way to bring up a Windows console (for the current directory) from the Windows Explorer context menu? I really like this feature in Nautilus (on Linux) and I'm wondering if there is a parallel feature in Windows.

"You can use power toys 'Open Command Window Here' for Windows XP to open a command window pointing directly at the selected folder.

EDIT

I'm not a Windows 7 user (yet) but apparently if you press the 'Shift' key and right-click on any folder, you get some extra options like ""Open Command Window Here"".

See here for more info on this, it demonstrates how to enable this feature without pressing shift using some registry tweaks."

"The following text, when entered into a .reg file and launched, will do it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt]
@=""Open Command Window Here""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\command]
@=""cmd.exe /k pushd %L"""
