I think that the best reg tweak is the one that sets the TAB key as "Command
line completion character", kind of like BASH in U*IX.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar
Set this to 9 Decimal.

sweet.
I actually found it while you were gone.

By 'here' I assume you mean an arbitrary file folder in Explorer.
In Windows Explorer use the Tools menu item. Select Options. Select the
File Types tab. Click on the File Types column heading to sort by that
field and look for "Folder". Highlight that item and click the Advanced
button. Click the New button to add an entry to the context menu for the
folder item. In the Action field give a description, such as C:> or cmd. In
the Application field enter: cmd.exe "%1" Push a bunch of OK buttons to
accept the changes and close all the dialogs. The Action will now appear in
the context menu and will open a command prompt window with that folder as
the current location.
This makes a change in the registry, so if you like registry hacks or need
to automate this you can add appropriate entries in HKCR\Folder\Shell.
This is a really handy thing to have. I do it on all my systems.
