Creating many folders at once.

While Windows lets us create new folder easily, it is discouraging to do so when we need to create many folders at the same time. There are in fact a couple of ways to do. Open Notepad (or other text editors). Type the following texts or copy and paste them:

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

Save the file. Name the file make_multiple_fdr.cmd or .cmd.
Open Window Explorer, choose Tools>Folder Options>, Folder Options box will appear.
Click File Types tab, choose File Folder from Registered file types:
Then click Advanced button and Edit File Type screen appears.
When you click New, New Action screen then shows up.
Give a name (e.g. Make Multiple Folders) in Action box.
Then use Browse button to navigate up to the .cmd file you juz created.
Append “%1” to the .cmd file by making a space between them.
(e.g. make_multiple_fdr.cmd “%1”)
Click OK and Close.
Now it’s ready to make many folders.
Right-click the folder under which you create many folders.
Right-click menu appears and you will see Make Multiple Folders.
When you choose it, command-prompt window appears asking for folder names.
Type your desired names by making a space between names.
Hit Enter when finished. That’s it!

If the above method makes you still confused, there’s another way.
In command-prompt window, type md to create folders.
(e.g. C:\>md Jan Feb March)
Tips: In Run box, type in cmd to get command-prompt window appear.
