I recently installd python on my system and am trying to make a directory for python files in my Windows 8.1 system using the command prompt. When I write the following simple command in cmd,
mkdir xyz
I get a reply - Access is denied.
What is the problem here?
C:\WINDOWS\system32> mkdir xyz
but if you specify mkdir like this:mkdir C:\somepath\newfolder
you need permission insomepath
to create thenewfolder
there
