   At times I do as well, but have gotten lazy with Windows.  :)
   You can still use DOS in Windows.
   In the search space on the lower left just type CMD and a command prompt
option will appear and click on that.
   I use it rarely, being somewhat spoiled with point and click.
   One time I had file I could not delete.  Tried everything in Windows bag
of tricks.  Finally went in with DOS, and still couldn't get rid of it. 
Then remembered an old trick I was told many years ago and renamed the file and
able to get rid of it then.
   To me DOS is like an early automobile.  A lot of tinkering around,
adjust this and that, hand cranking, and all just to get the thing going.  Now
its just turn the key, put it in gear and away you go.  :)
