Is there a way to get to the folder system menu in Windows Vista? This menu used to be accessible from the folder icon in the upper left corner of file explorer in XP, but the icon is gone in Vista.
I need it to access my custom "open DOS console" option that I added, which opens a DOS console in the folder directory, which is something I use all the time.
However, nothing I click on gives me that menu. I tried the title bar, the empty space inside the window and the new icons inside the address bar.
I have to either (a) go up one directory and right-click the folder icon there, and then return to the original directory -- what a pain! Or (b) keep the navigation pane open and right-click the icon there, which is also klunky, and it's not always obvious which icon is the current folder because the highlighting is faint and sometimes I scroll it out of view.
Is there a tweak, registry hack or some other back-door way to get to that menu?
