here is my phalcon.bat

@echo off

set PTOOLSPATH=C:\phalcon-tools php %PTOOLSPATH%\phalcon.php %*

that is located in C:\phalcon-tools

thnks for your help =D

If it helps I have this for my phalcon.bat and I can use CMD:

@echo off
set PTOOLSPATH=C:\phalcon-tools
php %PTOOLSPATH%\phalcon.php %*

That is with PHP in the Environment Variables:

C:\xampp\php;C:\phalcon-tools

Pretty much the same thing the guy said above. When you add a new environment variable you will have to restart your CMD console. I found it much easier to use a Vagrant box inside of windows myself, the setup just takes a while: https://github.com/phalcon/vagrant

Just wanted to add this, years later -- on linux it adds PTOOLSPATH in your ~/.bashrc file, You just have to change the path (if it's wrong), then source ~/.bashrc

As for me, I changed the file format of phalcon file located here C:\phalcon-tools (displays as just phalcon file) to a .php file by opening it in a text editor and saving it as a .php file that's all. Working perfectly now.
