1. Start, Run, Type cmd.exe, press enter.
2. Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt.
3. Open Task Manager, New Task, type cmd.exe, press enter.
4. Open Windows Explorer, go to c:\windows\system32\ double click on cmd.exe.
(use c:\winnt\system32 for Win2000)
5. Type the above path in the Windows Explorer Address Bar, press enter.
6. In Internet Explorer type file:///c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the address bar, press enter
7. Create a shortcut on the desktop, type in cmd.exe in the location and name fields,
double click the shortcut.
8. Open Notepad, type the following: (new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).FileRun()
Save the file as runbox.js. Double click the .js file. Enter cmd.exe in the run box and press
Enter.
(Note: If your computer associates JavaScripts with Notepad or another text editor,
it won't run the script. To fix that, create a shortcut to the .js file as described
above, right-click the shortcut, and choose Properties. With the Shortcut tab
in front, click the beginning of the Target text box. Type wscript.exe and
a space. Click OK.)


Any other ways to open a command prompt window...?

Ya, the way I open it, set a shortcut key. I hit CTL-ALT-D to open
mine (Properties - shortcut key).

Yep, one more...

Create new plain text file, add the line "cmd.exe" save and exit,
rename to .bat and run the batch file (or shell script).
