Command Line operations/ installing Drupal

[PowerBit]

Hope your day is going good and peaceful!

O.k...

I am using the Command Line...

I see C:/Document and Setting/Billy Bevan>

I need to make setting files writeable for my Drupal... by using this command...

chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php

But when I type this after the C:/Document and Setting/Billy Bevan> ... I get a message that says: this not recognized as an internal or external command...

I imagine I need to type something before this...

Some pointers would really help...

Thank you,

Billy

O.K...

I changed directories to where the file is found and I type in what drupal recommends to change the writing permissions...

chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php

then the CMD replies "chmod" is not a recognized internal or external command...

But this is the command suggested at Drupal here:
http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/...et-permissions

O.k.

I have further clarity... the "chmod" operation is Linux based... Now my question is:

How do I hack file securities for XP service pack 3?

The security tab is hidden and Tools File options is not showing a clear path to enabling security...

Anybody dealt with this?
