I've never used XP, but I found a page on the Microsoft web-site that shows you how to open a command window.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/default.asp?url=/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/CommandPromptOptions.asp
Alternatively, you can download a browser-based interface for MySQL (e.g. phpMyAdmin), to allow you run SQL-based queries. You will need to install a web server (e.g. Apache) on XP to use phpMyAdmin, though.
phpMyAdmin is the best tool, but you can also do a fair amount with MySql control center which is available at www.mysql.com.
And, there is a command prompt window in XP.
