Yes, this is a python question, and a serious one at that (moving to Win XP)

Or install the "Command Prompt Here" gadget that MS produces, which has 
a massive installer and a click-through license thing and everything, 
just to open a freakin' prompt at a given directory.  I'm continually 
amazed by how these little bits of knowledge (like the one Christian 
provides above and which I never knew before) have to be disseminated 
through the grass roots, so to speak.  Definitely like the MS world is 
not set up for real developers easily to be productive.
