All Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt.

Or Start - Run and type in cmd.exe

Note that though this looks like a DOS prompt it is in fact a 32 bit
program that emulates the prompt - you can also do a run of
command.com, which is actual 16 bit code running in the emulated
environment, but that is old DOS 5 and misses out on things like long
file names
