Best Answer

Unlike Windows XP, writing to anything under the Program Files folder in Windows 7 is practically prohibited, though there are ways around it. You're expected to keep all your documents on a secondary hard drive (like I do), or in the "C:\Users\yourLoginName\Documents" folder. Replace this:
outputFolder = fullfile(cd, 'Test');
with this:
outputFolder = 'C:\Users\Mohd\Test'; % or frames instead of test.
