1. You can access the the command prompt from the Metro desktop – simply click on the Windows 8 Start button to open the Metro desktop app. Scroll to the right and there it is:
2. The Windows 8 command prompt is still stored in C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe – go there, right-click on it and click on Send to Desktop
