Tweak to place folder on PC desktop

Greets, all:

I want to script the creation of a folder--named Job Chop-Chop! Export--on the desktop (PC) and found this Web page with instructions ( https://fmrift.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/creating-a-folder-from-filemaker-windows/ ) but being a Apple person I'm admittedly hazy on Window filepaths and can't get the script command to work (see attached). 

"cmd /c md " & Quote ( Right ( Get ( DesktopPath ) ; Length ( Get ( DesktopPath ) ) -1 ) & "Job Chop-Chop! Export" )

I guarantee it's something as simple, I'm just not seeing it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Strangely enough, re-entering the command caused the Send Event command to re-define itself so now it works:

Send Event ["aevt"; "odoc"; ...

I'm curious how the event changed--any explanation(s)?
