Automation MS-Dos Batch Add "Command prompt from here" to right-click context menu

I keep having to do this every year as I reghost all my machines (=restore to sorta factory settings), so instead of googling it and going through other websites that work and don't; I thought I might as well post the way I do it:
- Open up windows explorer
- Go to Tools -> Folder Options
- Click on the File Types tab
- Scroll down and select (NONE) Folder as file type
- Click on Advanced
- Click on New...
- For the Action type what ever you want the context menu to display, I use Command prompt from here
- For the Application value type c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe (this will be different on winnt, browse if unsure to your cmd.exe program)
- Click on OK > OK > Close
