Older versions of Windows had the MS-DOS prompt conveniently located in the programs file. For some reason, Windows 2000 and XP buried it in Accessories and renamed it "Command Prompt".
To get a DOS prompt in Windows 2000 or XP, you can go the long way... Start , Programs , Accessories , and select " Command Prompt ", or you can simply go to Start , Run , type in "CMD" and click OK .
Now doesn't that give you a big cozy feeling?
