Windows Software To Create Multiple Folders At Once
There probably are not a lot of users of the Windows operating system who need to create thousands of folders in short time. If you are one of them you can automate the process with the program New Folder Wizard which is capable of creating up to 20000 folders in one run. While my imagination is not able to come up with a scenario for that many folders there might be others who exactly need a software program like this to save lots of time.
New Folder Wizard is a portable software program for the Windows operating system. It requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0, runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the operating system and can be downloaded directly from the developer's homepage. The software itself comes with a set of interesting features to aid the user in the folder creation process.
The configuration of the software is handled in the main interface. The user needs to select a target folder which becomes the root folder for the folders that are created. It is furthermore possible to add folder prefixes and suffixes, starting and ending numbers and steps for those numbers.
Another option is to load a text file containing names into the program to create folders based on these names. The process can be previewed so that the user knows how the folders will be named. The generated folder names can be copied to the clipboard for external processing.
New Folder Wizard is an interesting lightweight application for the Windows operating system.

Hi …I created a similar tool .and it’s Multi-Folder maker ,
it also can’t make sub-folders though .
ahmadmdev.yolasite.com
I am not able to create sub folders using {tab}.
Can you make it clear how to write my text file for sub folders in notepad?
Eg
Folder A has 2 subfolders C and D
Folder B has 2 subfolders F and G
How to do it ?
You can only create folders in a single root structure. If you need to create subfolders in multiple folders, you need to run the program twice (in your case).
I think i know a bit easier way, first, create a new folder. select it and press on key board Ctrl+C. And now Press Ctrl+V, as more as you want.
folder will be created like
New Folder (you created)
Copy of New Folder (after pressing Ctrl+V)
Copy (2) of New Folder (—do—)
and on and on………..
Thanks you,
Is work for me your software
The latest version (2.0.x) can create sub-folders as well using {tab} as the sub-folder level indicator in your source file.
Example Screen:

The latest version also allows you to set a comment character to ignore comments in the source file. I.E. “//” or “#”.
# In linux
for i in {1..1000}; do
mkdir Sunset-$i-Vacation
done
Hi Martin,
I wonder if you know about XMD. It is a similar tool , but with many more options for handle creation of directories. You can give a glance here: http://www.breto.net/programas/xmd/
