Need help running hello.py from cmd.

[Dustin Hensly]

When I change directory and type in C:\google-python-exercises> python hello.py  , I get an "Access denied."  I don't know what to do.  

[Dustin Hensly]

This is what I'm having a problem with in particular.  I downloaded Python27 and Notepad ++.  Both work fine.  I can get the python interpreter running in the cmd window.  I just don't know how to do the following that's in brackets.  As you can see, I'm new to all this and really want to learn.  Please help me with this simple task.  Thanks :)

[With Python installed, open a command prompt (Accessories > Command Prompt, or type 'cmd' into the run dialog). Cd to the google-python-exercises directory (from unzipping google-python-exercises.zip). You should be able to run the hello.py python program by typing "python" followed by "hello.py" (what you type is shown in bold):

C:\google-python-exercises> python hello.py

Hello World

C:\google-python-exercises> python hello.py Alice

Hello Alice]

​Access denied means you don't have permissions to execute that script.
Right click and fix them.

Thank you very much, sir, for the reply.

When I'm in the cmd program, I don't know where to "right click and fix them".  I assumed that you meant that I needed to run the cmd as an admin.  So I did and got a different error message:  "google-python-exercises" is not recognizable as an internal or external command, an operable program or a batch file."

You're not executin correctly then. Provide us with a screenshot.

Ehm.

You're not changing your directory as I can see.

You're trying to execude "google-python-exercises" which is a directory :D

Enter the directory first.

So:
cd c:\google-python-exercises\

python hello.py

I just want to say thanks again for the attention.  This stuff can be daunting to a neophyte :)
