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.
