I have a new Dell desktop, with Windows 7, and I'm setting it up. But there is a problem.

I cannot fathom how to invoke a command line interface, which I'm sure must be possible. Otherwise, there are countless functions that I don't think can be done, which I've done routinely for years in DOS and in versions of Windows up to and including XP PRO.

Also, I don't understand how to get to those functions which, in XP PRO, are contained in the Control Panel, such as the Add or Remove Hardware or Add or Remove Programs and other matters.

I know there are those here who use Windows 7, and would some of you guide me on these matters?
