I’ve had this problem for ages, and it’s SO ANNOYING.
Suppose I want to run mysqldump.exe… here’s my process: Start->run, type ‘cmd’ … dir into directory after directory until I finally get to c:/program files/mysql/bin/then I can FINALLY call ‘mysqldump.exe’
I don’t mind using Windows Explorer to get to c:/program files/mysql/bin, but then I can’t freaking open up any of the .exe files in a shell, and I can’t open up shell with the directory being that one.
How can I do this?
Microsoft released a powertoy for Windows XP called Open Command Prompt Here. If you’re using Vista, all you need to do is hold shift and right-click.
