How can I create a shortcut in winxp so it launches with the prompt in the folder that contains the shortcut

I'm not looking for the program that creates a "Run command from here" in context menu, beacuse I want to use the shortcut in different PCs

it should look like:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe [currentexplorerdirectory]



I've tried with cmd.exe /k cd %1 but it doesn't seem to work

Thanks.

1. Create a shortcut to %ComSpec%
2. Change its "Start in" setting to %cd%
