It is located on Start Programs under Accessories called "C Prompt"

Click on START button
Click on Programs
Click on Accessories

Menu drops down

Look for DOS or "C Prompt"


If you need/want to make a desktop icon:

Right clickclick "C Prompt"
Pull down sub menu
click on "send to"
pull down sub menu
click on - "Desktop (Create shortcut)"

Left click empty part of screen to close Program tab

Look for new icon & place wherever yow want

Click on the icon to run & close window to return to desktop

This way it will be on your desktop for you to see . . .next time

when i did what you told me to do it worked but when i tried to download a program a window popped up and said C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXECT.NT.
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and microsoft windows applications

THis is really weird, but I had the exact same problem todayy, luckily I also cured it so can tell you what is wrong!

1. Insert the CD into the CD drive or DVD drive.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
4. At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:

expand CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\config.nt_ c:\windows\system32\config.nt
expand CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
expand CD-ROM Drive Letter:\i386\command.co_ c:\windows\system32\command.com
exit

Sorry
I did not read your question completely - I thought that you wanted to find DOS on your system . . .

What is it that you are asking for? What is it you are trying td do?
What program are you downloading? How are you trying to run it?

Keep in mind that the DOS in Windows is an abbreviated version & you might not be able to access hardware directly or security stuff & some others. . .?

Why & what do you want DOS for??
