You change directory to the location of the file.
Files with extensions .exe - .com - .bat are "opened"
by typing the name of the file.

When you go DIR in a DOS Prompt, what extension does that file have?

Type This Command- " A:\ghost " without the quotes, then press the enter key.

[rmrf]

do you want to edit the file, or execute the file?

to edit, type: edit ghost

to execute, follow pcgeek11's advice.
