Using the command line is much easier in such cases. Still some people prefer to edit the boards.txt file somewhere inside the Arduino folder to adjust parameters there. In case you want to access the .hex file for a self built firmware, Arduino places them in a temporary folder %TEMP%\buildxxx or similar.
USB and COM are different things. Some modern devices connect through USB just to provide a COM port, others connect the same way, but do not provide a COM port. -Pusb is for those who don't. Those who do, need a baud rate with the -b flag.
I take you have no idea how your programmer works. Finding this out would be good, just for the purpose of learning to operate the thing at all. The kind of firmware doesn't matter, with a bootloader it works the same. Google? Somebody on this planet should have used your programmer successfully before.
Funny thing here, the person who avoids touching Windows at all and who doesn't own a single Arduino has to explain how this works, because all the Windows and Arduino users declare to be dumb :-)
