- 2). Click on "All Programs" in the Windows Start menu.
- 3). Click the "Accessories" option.
- 4). Click on the "Command Prompt" option to open a command prompt window.
- 5). Type "path" (without quotes) at the command prompt to ascertain the directory in which you should place the "Wget.exe" file so it will run with a single command. The path command should return a result similar to "c:\Windows\system32;c:\Windows".
