Running MSDOS

[Guest]

How do I start a MSDOS window in which I can excute dos programs?

That's a bit of a problem!
XP does not have true "MSDOS", since it is derived from the WinNT family.
The Win9x family included MSDOS.
Having said that, it may be that the MSDOS application will run from the
window obtained by typing cmd in the Start Run open box and clicking OK.
There are more involved options available, depending on the dos program.

Start > All Programs >>> Accessories >> Command Prompt

Locate command.com in C:\WINDOWS\system32
Right click | Send To | Desktop (Create Shortcut)
You now have an MS-DOS Prompt on the Desktop
