Now you got me under your spell, lol.

I'm assuming that you're following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
If so, go back over it, step by step. If you are still having problems, and if noone else jumps in, I'll come back later and try to help. I'm in transit right now.
I know you can do this...just take your time.

you don't use a adb.exe from the windows GUI. Its used in the terminal (cmd). That's why it goes away really fast when you try to click on it.
If you cd to the place where adb is and type in adb.exe you will get that same text window, but it will stay up. You can then read it and see the different commands that are included in adb. Do your research first. Learn how to use adb from any of the HUNDREDS of tutorials here on xda or google

Okantomi you know this command is working:

adb reboot bootloader,

but after when I type: fastboot oem unlock, he telling:
'fastboot' is not recognized an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
