Example 1 (Generate a target path on the Desktop):
This example combines the path of the Desktop and a folder name to create a target path that is stored in a local variable named, TargetPath. The generated TargetPath is checked if it is located on the Desktop. The "Then" branch in the If statement is executed when the TargetPath does not exist on the Desktop, otherwise the ActionStep in the "Else" branch is executed. The Path is then output via Message Box.
