My solution....
1) first edit vcvars32.bat to add the line:
@if not "%1" == "" cd %1
just before the
@goto end
2) Run the following RegEdit Script (I've attached it, but one's
newsreader may balk at that)
[HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT\Directory\sh ell\VSDosHere]
@="Visual Studio .NET 2003 Command Prompt"
[HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT\Directory\sh ell\VSDosHere\c ommand]
@="C:\\WINNT\\s ystem32\\cmd.ex e /k \"C:\\Progra m Files\\Microsof t
Visual Studio .NET 2003\\Common7\\ Tools\\vsvars32 .bat\" %1"
3) Thereafter, just right click on a folder in Windows Explorer, and
choose "Visual Studio .NET 2003 Command Prompt". It will open a dos window
in the folder, and run vcvars32.

Yes, I am guessing that typing cmd in the run
windows will bring up the command prompt, but not the
vs.net command prompt. Is there a switch(s) for accessing
the vs.net command prompt? Or do you get to it from the
VS.net IDE?
Thanks,
Rog
