DOS-Prompt Drag-and-Drop

Windows Vista34
In XP, I used to be able to drag a file on to the DOS-Prompt to automatically

input the filepath and name enclosed in brackets. Has this functionality

been removed from Vista, does it need to be explicitly set, or am I seeing

weird behaviour?

Re:DOS-Prompt Drag-and-Drop

Yes, no more "drag and drop", but you can do this:

blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2006/09/18/windows-vista-secret-1-open-command-prompt-here.aspx" >blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2006/09/18/windows-vista-secret-1-open-command-prompt-here.aspx

There are also a number of (free) utilities that will add "Command prompt

here" to the normal right click menu if you so choose.
