CMD Command To Create Folders in Windows
In the Windows command prompt, we create folders using the mkdir
command. The syntax of the mkdir
is as follows:
mkdir path
For example, to create an empty directory called documents in the current working directory, use the mkdir
command as follows:
mkdir documents
You can include the path to create a folder on a specific location. For example, the following command creates a new folder named documents in the C:\data
directory:
mkdir c:\data\documents
The mkdir
command can also create multiple folders at once. Here is an example:
mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3
In the following example, we include the full path while creating multiple folders:
mkdir c:\data\dir1 c:\data\dir2
Some more useful CMD commands when working with directories: CD, DIR, XCOPY, and rmdir.
