And why the hell would you resort to such contrived contortions as that? Are you masochistic? DoubleClicking an icon will take me less that one second. How long does this sequence take:

 1. Open a command prompt
 2. type "c"
 3. type "d"
 4. type "space"
 5. hover over the folder icon with your mouse
 5.5. Oops, i missed. Go back to step 5!
 6. Mouse click the file "icon"
 7. Mouse drag the file "icon"
 8. Position the mouse over prompt window
 9. Release the "icon" 
10. Press the "Enter" key

Can anybody say "!Ay, caramba!"? 

Besides, you can skip most of those steps by Shift+RightClicking the file icon and choosing "Open Command Window Here". But, why the hell would you EVEN do that when two simple clicks will suffice?

That's not standard. Me, I can invoke git bash anywhere I want it, but
that doesn't mean I'd recommend installing git just so that people can
get command lines with less steps.

I don't understand Chris? It's obvious that the OP is on a windows box; for which no installation is required. 

And, what is so egregious about "less steps"(sic)? Do you prefer to be unproductive? Did you forget the lazy programmers creed? Is your employer paying you by the hour? ...all good questions.

I have here a Windows XP system (shh, it doesn't know there's Linux
between it and the hardware) which has no such context-menu item. Ergo
it is not standard and cannot be assumed to be on the target computer,
and installation IS required.

And if you're going to quibble about "fewer steps" then you should
probably have an apostrophe in "lazy programmers' creed". Just sayin'.
