Re: [h-e-w] [windows Q] `emacs here' like windows power tool`cmdprompt here'

[h-e-w] [windows Q] `emacs here' like windows power tool 
`cmdprompt here'I made the suggestion that setting up these 
context menu items should be supported by the Win32 installer. 
When I follow the link that Bryan provided, I find an answer (the 
fourth one) that implies that the installer already does this. 
However, I did not get it when installing under XP.

My version info:
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-06-30 on 
LENNART-69DE564 (patched)

Is the poster at stackoverflow confused, or is this a newer 
feature that was not there when I installed?

Regards,
 David V.

StackOverflow has a "How to" page that may be helpful:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/455077/how-to-create-a-right-click-context-shell-shortcut-edit-with-emacs

The site refers to "emacsclientw.exe", but "gnuclientw.exe" 
settings would be similar, for example:
REGEDIT4
;  This puts "emacs" into the right-click menu in Windows 
Explorer.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\emacs]
@="&Emacs"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\emacs\command]
@="C:\\emacs\\bin\\gnuclientw -q \"%L\""

Best regards,
Bryan

My subject line is probably a miss-quote since I don't recall 
what the
MS `power tool' was called that allowed user to open a dos 
command
window at whatever directory she was browsing using a right click
menu.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, maybe you'll know if 
anyone
has ever written something for emacs that would allow user to 
open an
emacs terminal at whatever directory she is browsing.
