I'm still a little new at using windows command line...why does

exiftool -IPTC:Caption-Abstract='description of the photo' c:\test

not work on the files contained in 'test' folder??

Under windows you need to use double quotes ", not single quotes '.

so try

exiftool -IPTC:Caption-Abstract="description of the photo" c:\test
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype
