starting python from windows command prompt
#1
Hi,

I am trying to open python from the windows command prompt. If i want to go to the map that includes the python -8.3.5 file by typing dir user and subsequently dir Maarten (the map named after my name were the "download" map is located which contains the python-3.8.5 file, i get a message: "volume in drive C has no label".

I guess if i want to start python from windows command prompt i have to go the the map in which the python -3.8.5 file is (c:\>user\Maarten\downloads) and than type "python" ?

What am i doing wrong?

Any input is much appreciated!
