How do I install the GNU C++ compiler?

I just got a book with the compiler on a disc and I need some help installing it. It says I need to install it in an MS-DOS command window, which is the command prompt, but I don’t know how to get rid of this:

C:\Documents and settings\My Name>

So how do I get rid of it and how do I install it, because the instructions confuse me.
I need to know how to get it to just C:\ to install it

How can I automate the renaming of files through a batch script in Windows XP?

I’m not sure how to do this at the command prompt:

I’d like to remove the first three characters from a filename.

How can I do that in a batch script? This needs to be something that can run automatically every day.

Thanks.
