If you typed that whole string literally  it was treated as

    C:\  > django-admin.py25
    111  2 33333333333333344

1) a program to run called "C:\".  No such program exists, and thus the 
error it gives you

2) redirect the output of that "program" (that doesn't exist) into a 
file in the current directory called "django-admin.py25"

3) the file name it would redirect to

4) likely a copy&paste error tacking on a 25 from perhaps a footnote


What you want is to interpret this portion:

    C:\>

as your shell prompt.  When you first bring up a command-prompt, it's 
likely something likie

   C:\Documents and Settings\timbis\>

Assuming you've followed the instructions to set your PATH environment 
variable, you just type

   django-admin.py

at this prompt.  Going through a short primer on using Dos might be a 
good start to get you comfortable at wandering around in your 
command-shell.  There's a fair bit of power and control, but it requires 
learning how to use it.
