Best Answer

Click the start button and select "run," which is on the left side of the menu.

If for some reason this option is not there, create a new text file with notepad and type "command.exe" (no quotes) in it. Save it as a .bat file by naming it "something.bat" in the name field. You can replace the word "something" with whatever you want. double click the file and the command prompt should pop up.
