They have a Dual boot between Windows XP and MS-DOS. For some reason the MS-DOS Boot.ini entry is called "Microsoft Windows".

I don't think you can run a Windows program from within Dos alone, but it appears that program in the video is some sort of Dos based program.  Why don't you try adding that command to Autoexec.bat and see if it will load that way?
