	No, they didn't... "Desktop" is one of the directories that gets linked
into OneDrive (along with "Documents", "Photos", and a slew of other
predefined Windows directories).

	That whole sequence should be the equivalent of:

cd OneDrive\Desktop\IntroToPythonMaster\examples

and should (due to the link in OneDrive) be equivalent to

cd Desktop\IntroToPythonMaster\examples

{That is, there should be -- if the OP is correct in the sequence -- an
"IntroToPythonMaster" icon showing somewhere on their screen, as Desktop is
where such items are stored}

	It would be much better if the OP were to cut&paste the actual text
from the command shell window showing the sequence (and maybe perform a
"DIR" command at the point the error occurs).



*	SideNote
	OneDrive is evil and should be killed (mine has been -- using group
policy editor [Win10 PRO, not available on HOME]).
	As the name indicates, M$ OneDrive considers the /cloud/ to BE the
primary drive, files are only stored locally for use when the system is not
connected to the internet. It is NOT a "backup" scheme (the backup, as it
were, is the local copy).
