The manual for siesta is pretty clear on how to start it, I think you are confused because it explains how to install siesta on Linux. So cmd prompt in windows will not work because it has different commands. Maybe downloading a unix commander will help. You can download one from http://www.cygwin.com
And then just follow the manual. It explains you how to do a water molecule example and has all the files ready for the procedure.
