I don't have XP, but here is what I do on Win 98.

1.  make sure that "bash" is installed (available for djgpp).
2.  run bash.  (I just type "bash" in the run menu)
3.  cd dir    // where dir is the place you put nauty22b6.zip
4.  unzip nauty22b6.zip   // unpacks nauty into directory nauty22
       OR  
    tar zvfx nauty22b6.tar.gz   // if you downloaded that file instead
5.  cd nauty22
6.  ./configure
7.  make

Now you have nauty installed (if nothing went wrong).  For example,
let's count the 6-vertex graphs according to maximum degree.

   geng 6 | countg --D

If the current directory is not in your path you might need to use
  ./geng 6 | ./countg --D
