Create the key “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cmd.exe\command“ and set the default value to a REG_EXPAND_SZ with this value: “%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe” /K PUSHD “%1″ & TITLE CMD.EXE %1  

Here’s an example .reg file to do this, which can be downloaded here: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cmd.exe]   [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\cmd.exe\command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\ 74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,63,\ 00,6d,00,64,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,20,00,2f,00,4b,00,20,00,50,00,\ 55,00,53,00,48,00,44,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,31,00,22,00,20,00,26,00,20,00,54,\ 00,49,00,54,00,4c,00,45,00,20,00,43,00,4d,00,44,00,2e,00,45,00,58,00,45,00,\ 20,00,25,00,31,00,00,00  

Also, in Windows Vista and newer versions, if you hold down the left shift key while right clicking on a folder, you get an extra menu item “Open Command Window Here” even without applying this registry change.

(Choose the  x64 or x86 version depending on your OS).
The option “-W [Your workspace]” tells Windbg to use a specific workspace and “-o” option tells WinDbg to also debug child processes started by the .exe. You can omit both options if you prefer.

Here’s an example .reg file for x64 that uses the “SkyLined” workspace, you can use it to get started and modify the key using regedit to fit your needs. It can be downloaded here:
