help needed to start the project

What Operating system are you on ?

windows vista 64bit

Under your windows start menu you can search for cmd. This will show cmd.exe in the list of options. Right click on it and choose start as admin.

In your command prompt type

cd / 

This will bring you to the root directory

Then navigate to the folder where you want to create the projects directory for example

cd /Users/My Name/

To create a directory with a name projects, type

mkdir projects

I hope this helps !

If there is something different you are trying to chive can you please list the steps you are following.
