Thanks a lot Ramesh. My problem got solved. I think I missed that .\ part that's why the folder didn't get moved into the correct folder.

Answer 5

Hi Sanjay, This is Ramesh.

Your command would have moved the "CPP_Problems_Striver" folder contents to the "C:\Sanjay" directory.

The correct command would have been one of the following:

move CPP_Problems_Striver .\Sanjay

(or)

move CPP_Problems_Striver .\Sanjay\CPP_Problems_Striver

(executed from the desktop directory.)
