How can I open a cmd window in a specific location?

Try out this “PowerToy” from Microsoft:

Open Command Window Here

This PowerToy adds an “Open Command Window Here” context menu option on file system folders, giving you a quick way to open a command window (cmd.exe) pointing at the selected folder.

EDIT : This software will not work on any version of Windows apart from Windows XP.
