If you're unfamiliar with the Windows command prompt, the FAQ mentions some DOS tutorials that should help.

If you don't know the syntax of gfx2gba, have you tried any of the following?

gfx2gba --help
gfx2gba -h
gfx2gba -?
gfx2gba /?

If you don't know how to use a program when the program and the document are in different folders, have you learned about the PATH environment variable?

Required reading for understanding gfx2gba:

Basically, this is how most people use it:

This method outputs C/C++ source files for the palette and image data:
gfx2gba -t8 -fsrc image.bmp

If you want assembly includes:
gfx2gba -t8 -fasm image.bmp

The -t8 specifies that tiles are 8x8 in size. Another useful switch is -ppalettefilename

You can use wildcards too, but if you have it convert more than one image, you should make sure that the images are all using the same palette.

You could also take a look at the readme file for a list of all its parameters.
