What a great idea! And so easily done. (:

First grab this and put it in C:\ruby\:
http://www.danceliquid.com/irbhere/irbhere.bat

Then grab this and double click it to import it into your registry:
http://www.danceliquid.com/irbhere/irbhere.reg

Then right click a folder in Explorer (or even the little folder icon
in the top left of an open Explorer window) and choose "irb here!"

Thanks for the sweet idea.
