The open a command prompt action will do just as it says: it will open up a command prompt (either cmd.exe or command.com for older versions of Windows). The parameters part of this action is optional this time around.

I don't know about you, but I use the command prompt quite a bit. A neat trick you can do when setting up an action for the command prompt is to pass it this parameter: "/k cd C:\DirectoryHere". You can change DirectoryHere to any directory that you wish. In fact, you can change "cd" to any valid command prompt command.
