Hi Bijal The terminal (lower screen) currently expects to find ‘error.py’ in C:\Users\Bijal lakhani. But we can see it is actually located on your F drive. So, in the terminal try entering this instead… py F:\Python files\Visual Studio code projects\Practice\_1\error.py ---

Thanks for reply . But its not working by default it taking “c:\users\Bijal lakhani\>” …how to change this thing in window power shell… Picture is attached for your reference …output window is working perfectly fine… ![1650088221711776970962382860656](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/codewithmosh/original/2X/7/7b90b7ea4a5db32e6ff99bc2869bf69ee2e9a297.jpeg) ---

OK. I see what’s wrong now. The terminal is fine. The idea is that it keeps ‘C:\Users\Bijal lakhani\>’ as the active directory. All we are trying to do is show it where error.py is located on your F drive. What’s tripping us is that you have folder names on your F drive containing spaces. That’s OK but we must make a small change to allow for that. So in your teminal instead of entering… py F:\Python files\Visual Studio code projects\Practice\_1\error.py enter… py “F:\Python files\Visual Studio code projects\Practice\_1\error.py” By using the “”, we prevent the spaces from causing a problem. You can see from your error message that the problem starts with the first space located at ‘F:\Python’ ---

Just to mention, if the above has worked but you prefer to change your terminal folder to make life easier, in Visual Studio Code (top left) choose File → Open Folder → Then choose the Practice\_1 folder located at F:\Python files\Visual Studio code projects\Practice\_1 ---
