Problems with command line

[kebab123]

I followed the instructions  but this message still appears " 'exiftool' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file". What could it be?

That means that the command line cannot find exiftool.  It's not in the current directory nor in any directory specified by the PATH ENV variable.

What operating system are you using and what directory did you put exiftool in?

[kebab123]

its windows 10, I put it under 'Boot (C:)' in the 'Windows' file

[StarGeek]

What happens when you type
where exiftool
on the CMD window?

INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

Did you rename exiftool (step 3 under Installing ExifTool - Windows)?   When first downloaded it is named exiftool(-k).exe. 

Are you sure it's in C:\Windows?  What is the output of:
dir C:\Windows\Exif*

[kebab123]

 Volume in drive C is Boot
Volume Serial Number is 46FF-E098

Directory of C:\Windows

               0 Dir(s)  891,286,777,856 bytes free

The program is incorrectly named with a double extension.  You missed the second part of Step 3 of the install
    (or "exiftool(-k)" to "exiftool" if file name extensions are hidden on your system)

Type this on the command line:
ren  C:\Windows\exiftool.exe.exe exiftool.exe

It should work correctly after that.

Access is denied.

[StarGeek]

You'll need admin access to do that.  Open up a new CMD as admin and run the command.

Or try going into the C:\Windows directory on the desktop and rename exiftool.exe to exiftool

i guess it worked now. Thank you so much for taking your time to help me
