title: Windows: How to open a .exe in a shell window that won't close?
body: <p>I've had this problem for ages, and it's SO ANNOYING.</p>
  
  <p>Suppose I want to run mysqldump.exe... here's my process:  Start->run, type "cmd" ... dir into directory after directory until I finally get to c:/program files/mysql/bin/then I can FINALLY call "mysqldump.exe"</p>
  
  <p>I don't mind using Windows Explorer to get to c:/program files/mysql/bin, but then I can't freaking open up any of the .exe files in a shell, and I can't open up shell with the directory being that one.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this?</p>
