   Hallo mateusbaltazar9@gmail.com,   
      
   >> Hi, I'm trying to learn the IF command but I can't get the

   1. Problem: does your batch have access rights to the windows (=system!)   
   directory? You probably have to start your cmd.com instance elevated.   
      
   2. Problem: Put these lines on one line and add a backslash:   
   if exist c:\windows\test\ goto end   
      
   3. Problem: if the above test fails, Windows will report "folder exists"   
   anyway, as directed by you :-)   
      
      
   The folder "test" does not   
   >> exist, but yet the batch file always echoes "folder exists" and the   
   >> test folder never gets created.
