The Power of Shift + Right-Click

In Windows Vista, there are two kinds of right-clicks: normal right-click and the shift right-click. The normal right-click of course brings the normal right-click context menu.

But, if you want some hidden features in the context menu, you can press Shift key while right-clicking on a file or in a directory.

Below you can see the hidden options only found in the Shift right-click context menu. If you are inside a directory, it will show to an option to open the command window at the current directory and if you are right-clicking on a file, you will see three options as shown in the screenshots.

ShiftRightClickFile

In Windows, the option to open the command window at the current directory can be added with a power toy  from Microsoft.
