Explore with this as Root, Explorer Hack

A friend at work created this registry file that allows you to view a folder as if it is the root. It simplifies the view so you can easily find the files you are currently working with.

It will add a "Explore with this as root" context (right-click) menu item on folders in Windows Explorer. When you execute it a new Windows Explorer window opens up with the selected folder as root with the folder pane showing.
