When I'm in a folder (say C:\Temp), used to be able to type CMD in the address bar and a command prompt window would open to C:\Temp. Now I get an error message indicating "The system cannot find the path specified", and the address field temporarily changes to C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\cmd. Doing this in Windows Exploder works without issue. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
The location bar is for changing paths; I don't think it has ever let you run commands.
You can type a > character into the file display to open a command field at the bottom of it, which you can type Opus or Windows commands into (including CMD).
There are also items in the default Tools menu, and folder background context menu, for opening a Command Prompt without typing.
Thank you Leo for the quick reply. Perhaps I was mistaken and it was just a feature in Windows Explorer. I like the ">" suggestion though. Nearly as handy.

You can also run a DOS command directly by typing ? instead of >.
For example, type ?dir and push return, and a standard Windows Command Prompt will open with the output of the dir command on the current directory, and then stay open to let you type further commands or close it when done.
