If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the easiest way is simply to type 'cmd' into the search box on the Start menu, then choose cmd.exe from the results.
If you have any older Windows, like Windows Xp, windows 98 etc.
You will have to search for it, click start, and look under accessories.
click start, programs, and MS-Dos prompt when you boot from a bootable disk or a windows 9x Me startup disk, you get a command prompt instead of the windows desktop
Windows XP does not have 'proper' dos, but it does have a command prompt which is a lot like dos. You can access a DOS-like command prompt before booting Windows XP by first restarting your computer and before the Windows XP loading screen appears, repeatedly hit the 'F8' key on your keyboard. This will give you boot up options. One of them will be 'Safe Mode with Command Prompt'. This is the same command prompt that would appear if you hit [Windows]+[R] key in Windows and typed 'cmd' and then hit enter.
You can open a command prompt on a PC when it's blocked by simultaneously holding down the Windows key and pressing 'R' on the keyboard. Type 'cmd' into the box and you will have access to the command prompt.
There isn't one. By the time the Command Prompt is available, Windows has already loaded.
either go to Start >> All programs >> Accessories >> Command prompt OR go to Start >> Run >> and type in cmd and hit enter.
When you are in the Windows directory or one of its sub-directories. Once at the command prompt you could type: CD\Windows That will change the directory to Windows and what you will now see is: C:\Windows>
