Create an MS-DOS Prompt Shortcut on Your Desktop

It is very easy to create a shortcut to the MS-DOS Prompt on your desktop:

• Right-click an empty area on the desktop (or choose any folder), then select 'New>Shortcut'.
• In the Shortcut Wizard, in the location box type "CMD.EXE" (if that doesn't work try "%WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE").
  
• Press the 'Next >' button, then give the shortcut a name (for example: "MS-DOS Prompt") and then press the Finished button.
