I can't get into Windows, and I have to run a check on my hard drive from DOS. The instructions for the .exe file say to double-click, but of course that won't work in DOS.
A basic but important question for someone who doesn't know DOS that well. ???

go to the directory that your exe is in...
e.g. if you want to run notepad.exe, in the 'windows' directory,
type cd windows
then type notepad.exe

or (assuming you're trying to run notepad) just type the following:
c:\windows\notepad.exe

Thanks! It's so simple I completely forgot it from 15 years ago.
