For some reason the key and .reg script to invoking nios command shell no longer works on my Win7/64 machine. Chances are you would see the same problem so here is my fix:

to restore proper function remove the %1 parameter so the .reg script for creating now reads: 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
@="NIOS II command shell here"
@="\"C:\\Altera\\10.1\\nios2eds\\Nios II Command Shell.bat\""

Assuming you use a default Nios2 path. If not just correct as needed. The remove script from above still works. All the \ and " are important!

As before, it only works as expected in Win7 if invoked with right-click on a selected folder in the right pane of explorer.

Enjoy.
