"cmd.exe /k pushd %L" doesn't run anymore

I have since years the following registry key, so I can open a DOS-Box by right-click on a directory of the explorer.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\DOS-Prompt]
"command"="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"

It did run until last week. Now, I become the following message and can't find the reason.

This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.

or in German

Der Datei ist kein Programm zum Ausführen dieser Aktion zugeordnet.

The program cmd.exe is in my C:\windows\system32. I have a Windows 7, so the same action is possible with SHIFT+right-click. But my direct link did run... Why not anymore?

Solution

  • The registry setting is incorrect. It should be like below.

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\DOS-Prompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"
