yeah so if your "new folder" is in your desktop,
C:\Documents and Settings\kz\Desktop\newfolder
should do the job.

get to the c drive, then type:
"cd C:\Documents and Settings\kz\Desktop\New Folder"
do that and it will work, if it doesnt then there isnt a folder on the desktop

you dont even need to get to the c drive with that line, just type that exactly on the v drive and it will work

this is also assuming your using the windows emulated msdos?
if your using true ms dos, then paths longer than 8 charcters will need truncating ie
progra~1 = program files

You need to be on the top level of the directory. You usually start in C:/Windows or something. To go up a level you type 'cd ..' Keep on typing that until you are ate C;/
