Weird...what version of Vista is it? You are clicking on the folder once, then holding down shift and right-clicking? Jul 14, 2009 at 21:02

Note that this only works for folders in the right hand pane of explorer. It also works on network shares, in which case it will map a drive letter temporarily for you. Jul 14, 2009 at 21:07

That is it. I was right clicking in the left pane's tree. It works when I shift right click the folders int he left pane. Thanks!– gambitJul 19, 2009 at 22:27
Shift+right-click as AdamB pointed out.
If you have UAC enabled and you'd like to have an additional context menu item to open an elevated command (or PowerShell) prompt, see this article.
