Creating Multiple Folders in Windows

Creating multiple folders in Windows is as easy as cut and paste.  Just follow these steps.

  1. Open Notepad on your computer.
  2. Copy and Paste the following code into Notepad:

@echo off
set /p name="Type folder name(s): "
md %1\%name%

     3. Click File > Save As.  Save as make_dir.cmd

    Now, that’s the script.  The next step is to add this script to your right-click menu when viewing Windows Explorer.

    1. Go to My Computer on your Desktop.  
    2. Select Tools  >  Folder Options  >  File Types  >  File Folder
    3. Click the Advanced button.
    4. Click the New button.
    5. In the Action field, type “Mult Folders”.
    6. Next, use Browse to find your make_dir.cmd script. 

    Finally, you’ll need to run your sript.
    1. Locate the Folder where your new folders will be created.
    2. Right Click on the Folder and click Mult Folders.

         3. In the CMD Prompt pop-up window, type or paste the names of your folders.  For example, typing in Dog Cat Mouse will create three folders.  For names with two or more words, use quotations.  For example, “John Smith” “Jane Doe” creates two folders.


    And now you’re done!
