You need a GUI such as Arena or Winboard first - you can download these also on Chess.com

Download arena GUI and read the help files. Stockfish is just an engine, GUIs are like cars. you can't run engine files alone.

ankitthemaster, with WinBoard, click on ENGINE and then LOAD ENGINE and point to the stockfish exe file. 

Also, you should download a more recent version of Stockfish.  The latest version is 2.2.2, which is much stronger than version 1.5.1.  Version 1.5.1 is at least two years old.  (Version 1.7.1 is early 2010!)
