Dear,
Step 1: At the matlab code editor screen (Editor menu)
Step 2: At the location of the brown folder: The link showing the location of the matlab file is generating an error
Step 3: Delete the link above and select any location in your computer's drive
Step 4: You create any empty folder
Step 5: Run
Good luck!

I can't repair error. I have created command into prompt as following:
c:>\cd Users\PC\Documents\MATLAB
So the result back yet:
The current directory 'c:\program files\matlab\r2016a\bin' is reserved for MATLAB files.
Please change your current directory to a writeable directory outside of the MATLAB installation area.

In which "prompt" do you enter this? In the command window of Matlab or of the operating system? What is the purpose of "c:>"? In the command shell of the operating system this tries to create the file 'Users\PC\Documents\MATLAB' inside the current directory and to write the output of 'c:' to it, which is empty. I guess you want to do:
cd C:\Users\PC\Documents\MATLAB
