Command Windows Where You Want Them

For most Windows platforms I have used a registry hack to add a Command Window option to the right click command window within Windows Explorer  This is on the Microsoft Site, as well as available though the PowerToys add-on.

I just discovered that Windows 2008 has this embedded.  To get a Command Window in any directory right click the folder name while holding down the shift key, this will create an option to Open a Command Window within the directory.  This should work for Vista and Windows 2008, so if you need DOS windows like I do, this is how to do it within W2K8.
