You can hold shift and right-click in Explorer and select "Open Command Window Here" (at least in Win 7 and 8).

Or even faster: shift + context menu button, then W.

About the same speed on Windows 8: File -> Open Command Prompt.

Yep, this works fine, until you did it a 7th time and end up with a task bar full of unused console windows.

If you want to reuse an existing cmd window you can type in "cd " then drag/drop the directory from any Explorer shell. You could also close the shell after finishing with it.

Not trying to take anything away from your script, it has a use-case, but just pointing out that there are alternate solutions for systems that don't have your script installed.
