How to Create Multiple Folders at Once in Windows

Creating multiple folders and subfolders manually can be time-consuming. To ease the folder creation process, you can use the Command Prompt or PowerShell. Here’s how you can create multiple folders at once in Windows.

1. Create Multiple Folders Via CMD

You need to use the CMD to create multiple folders in just one click. Here’s what you should do.

1. Click on the Windows Start button and search for CMD. Open Command Prompt from the list.

2. On the Command Prompt, you need to select the directory where you want to create multiple folders. You need to use the cd command to switch to the directory. For example: cd C:\New folder

3. Let’s say you want to create three folders – Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. You need to execute the command:

md Yesterday Today Tomorrow

Important: There’s a space between every folder name.

4. After executing the commands, close the command prompt and head to the directory where you have created the folder. You will find your folders there.

2. Create Multiple Folders via PowerShell

Just like the Command Prompt, you can utilize PowerShell to create multiple folders at once as well.

1. Open Windows Search and search for PowerShell. Open PowerShell from the list.

2. Let’s say you want to create three folders – Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. First, you need to execute the command:

New-Item -Path 'D:\temp\Test Folder' -ItemType Directory

Important: Here, we have created a folder in the D:\temp folder. You need to replace the directory. Also, replace the ‘Test Folder’ with the name of the folder you want.

3. Press the Enter button and open the directory where you have created the folders. You will find all your folders in that directory.
