    I use FileMenu Tools (Latest build is 6.3) to get the same + plenty of other built-in commands. Moreover, custom commands are supported and useful for dos related utilities (e.g., I use it to custom scan any file/folder with Emsisoft Command Line Scanner) It is compatible with Windows 8 RTM.

    this Open with Notepad Registry entry will also
    add a notepad icon next to the Open with Notepad right click command

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Notepad]
"Icon"="notepad.exe,-2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Notepad\command]
@="notepad.exe %1"
    copy and paste that to a .txt document, rename it to .reg and click it to add to registry.

    or get it here
    View attachment Add_Open_with_Notepad.rar

    The word for Administrators is different in other languages, causing the icacls portion of the Take Ownership tweak to fail. This will work on english or non-english machines.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /t"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F /t"
