There is technically no specific way to do what you are asking here...
If an application is DOS based, then it does not need a shortcut to be started through command prompt, you can just create a shortcut to the executable itself, and it will automatically run in a DOS environment.
You can't really create a shortcut to Command Prompt as you will probably get some System32 error on Windows. Butt you can create a batch file (.bat)
Open up Notepad
Type "command.com" (Without Quates)
The File -> Save As
Name it as anything, I usually name it "CMD"
Then add ".bat"
Under "Save As Type" drop the box down and select "All Files"
Then you can run Command Prompt
Or you could just drag and drop Command Prompt from the Start Menu to the Desktop.

First you would need to install the program. Pop the software CD or DVD into the DVD drive and it should automatically start to install itself. If not, double click on the CD or DVD drive shortcut on your desktop and select 'autoplay'. If there is no shortcut to the drive on your desktop, go to 'My Computer' to access the CD or DVD drive. Assuming the program installs properly, it will put a shortcut on your desktop and/or your taskbar. Click this shortcut to launch your software.
Where is the shortcut area in the windows interface How is it useful for us?
There is no specific "shortcut area" in Windows. You can place shortcuts wherever you like. Shortcuts are useful because they allow us to access programs and data from places that are convenient to us. Typically, we place shortcuts on the desktop, in the start menu and on the taskbar as these places are always accessible.
How are shortcut keys are useful?
They reduce the number of keystrokes - making access quicker. For example - you might need access to a program that's 'buried' in layers of directories. The 'slow' way to access a program is to type a command line to change the directory until you get to where the program is - then run it. The quick way - is to set up a shortcut on your desktop, to the program itself. Thus saving loads of keystrokes (and time).
