    Set customized commands:- Click Run -> Run -> Browse button to 'C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe' -> Save -> Type name "Open current dir cmd", add shortcut or not and click OK this should place the commmand in the Run menu. You should be able to do this with any command or program you wish to add, i think. Reff:- Notepad++ menu Click on ?(help), Click on Help contents, from the Document Navigator Click on Commands

In Notepad++ v6.6.9 this function is already present.

  1. Right-click tab of desired document.
  2. From context menu, select Open Containing Folder in cmd.
    The command launches the following: cmd /K cd /d $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) (This was taken from N++ source code.)
