Missing statement block after 'else' keyword.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: :)) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException

You don't have to have an else clause. However, if you do you must include the braces.

Code:
## Example 1
if (condition)
[indent]{code to run}[/indent]


## Example 2
if (condition)
[indent]{code to run}[/indent]
else
[indent]{alternate code to run}[/indent]


## To fix your code
if ($i -lt 10)
{$intPad=0
New-Item -Path C:\mytempFolder -Name $strPrefix$intPad$i -Type directory}
else

Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
