Script to create folders

[Peanut2005]

Hi Everyone,

I have been tasked with a really long winded process of creating new folders for all of our 100 users. The folders should be named according to their usernames ie user1, user2, user3 etc. Is there anyway that I could run some sort of script that will enable me to to supply their usernames as input and have the script create them for me?

Many thanks in advance,

P

Take a look at the InputBox function and the CreateFolder method of FileSystemObject.

Hope This Helps, PH.

If you have a list of the usernames and Excel you can try this method.

1. In column one type "md" (without quotes)
2. In column two type the path you want the folders created in, including the folder name like "c:\users\user1" and so on. (one per each row)
Column one should contain "md" for each entry in column two.

3. Do a File>Save as. Save it as Text(MS-DOS). Close Excel.
4. Open the text file to make sure each line says md c:\users\user1, user2, etc.
5. Change the .txt extension to .bat or .cmd (.cmd seems to run faster)
