I am denied access when trying to mkdir in command prompt.

I  need to know if there is some kind of user account that has moree access I am using now. There are command prompts (like mkdir) that won't let me run them

Hi,

Are you running Windows ? Which Windows ? We don't mkdir under Windows, we create new folder(s). You can create new folder under Explorer:

File > New > Folder

I am taking a class in info technology and we are writing batch files. so if the command gives me (access denied" does that mean it isn't supported? is it that way for all times I get "access denied"?

It is md space then name of dir.

To make dir TEST.

MD test

Hi,

Very easy, just use Explorer. This is an example:

By default its name is "New Folder". You can rename it by put the mouse on it (don't click), hit F2 and put whatever name you like.

it still says access is denied am I not logged in as an administrator?

Right click on the command prompt icon and run as admin.

Actually to make a directory in Windows 7 using the command prompt:

Type cmd in "Search Programs and Files" box

Right click on CMD when it comes up and choose run as administrator

This will give you the admin rights it takes to create a directory in Windows 7 using the command prompt.
