Assuming you haven't done anything further since you added the Command Prompt as a folder context menu option, try this:
  • Open the registry editor (regedit) and go to this registry key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
  • Right-click on the Default value in the right-hand pane, and then click Modify.
  • In the value data field, type:  none
  • Click OK, and then close the registry editor.

    You may need to reboot to effectuate the change.
