The curl.exe program is supposed to be run from the command line. You
need to open a command line window:

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chdos.htm

After that, you run the curl commands there:

C:\> curl -o file1.txt "http://curl.haxx.se"

If you have written the commands in Notepad, save the file as
curl_beginner.bat and run the .bat file in the command window:

C:\> curl_beginner

Something like that. I am not a Windows user myself.
