Comment:

I have a couple hundred folders in which I want to create subfolders. Same subfolders in each one. What is the correct syntax for this?

do you have a list of the folders you want the subfolders placed in ? you can get a list of folders using the dir /b > list.txt then copy in some kind of text like mkdir c:\ before the entry then \subfolder name after each entry than save the file to something.bat then run it Its hard to explain without knowing what the names are,, if you have any question,, just ask here on the board,, Ill be up for a little while longer If your not learning,, your just sitting there
