If you are using Vista you should be able to do it by holding down the Shift key when you right-click on a folder, you should then see the "Open Command Window Here" menu item. Or just "cd" to that folder.

FWIW: when sideloading apk files I usually just move that file to my nook sd download folder using windows explorer and then use Astro File Manager on my nook to install it. Much easier. Just select that file and follow prompt to install. Make sure you have "allow Non-Market Apps" checked in NookColor Tools first!
AH HA! So I have to have ADB something installed on my PC too?! I just found something that said to download the adb wireless app and voila, so that's what I did. Where do I find what I need to install ADB on my PC?

So, if I sideload apk files with the sd and Astro File, do I even need the ADB thing? I used the sd and Astro File method to get Angry Birds on the NC.

Thank you!
