Creating folders and subfolders manually is time consuming tasks and a boring thing to do. But how about creating multiple folders at once in Windows 10, sounds good right!
Let’s see how quickly we can create multiple folders at once in Windows 10 using three different ways,
- Command Prompt
- PowerShell
- Batch File
The above methods will save more time and help you to automate some of your manual tasks wherever required.
Create Multiple Folders using Command Prompt
Step 1: Type cmd in Windows search bar and run the Command Prompt with or without Admin privileges.

Step 2: Change the directory where you want to create the folders using cd
command.

Step 3: Now let’s create a 12 folders for each month in a year. That is from January to December. Run the below command on command prompt.
md January February March April May June July August September October November December

Make sure to replace the names after md command with your folder names.
Now open the directory and verify that all the folders created as shown below,

That’s simple! Give a try.
Create Multiple Folders using PowerShell
The second method to create multiple folders at once is using the PowerShell. Let’s create seven folders for each day in a week.
Step 1: Type PowerShell in Windows search bar and open the PowerShell.

Step 2: Navigate to the directory where you want to create the folders using cd
command as shown below,
cd C:\Users\NaGG\Demo
Step 3: Inside the directory, run the below command.
"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" | %{New-Item -Name "$_" -ItemType "Directory"}

Now open the directory and verify that all the folders created as shown below,

Create Folders and Subfolders using Batch Script
Using command prompt is cumbersome when you want to create folders and the subfolders. You could mess up the entire folder structure with one small mistake.
Here is small example of command to create folders and subfolders using command prompt.
md folder1\subfolder1 folder2\subfolder2
The above command looks cool and simple but what if you want to create 100s of folders? sure, you will mess up with the structure.
To avoid these kind of errors, you can simply save your folder structure as bat file and run it.
Step 1: Open notepad and type your folder structure as shown below and save the file as .bat.
@ECHO OFF
md folder1\subfolder1 folder2\subfolder2 folder3\subfolder3
md folder4\subfolder4 folder5\subfolder5 folder6\subfolder6
Make sure to give space between the folders and you must add md before a newline.

Step 2: Now simply click on the file and verify folder structure.

That’s simple.
