How to bulk create folders using New Folder Wizard

For most people, when they need to create a new folder in Windows, they simply right-click and choose New Folder. Pretty simple and straight-forward right? And they would probably laugh if you told them there is an entire program to create just folders.

However, if you’re an IT Administrator, there may come a time when you have to create not one, but hundreds or even thousands of folders! In that case, right-clicking and choosing New Folder would be ridiculously time consuming and frustrating.

New Folder Wizard is a free app that will make your life a lot easier if you need to bulk create folders in Windows.

Basically, you choose a target folder and give the folder a prefix and a suffix. You can choose a starting number and a step value also.

If you want a bunch of folders, but do not want them to just be numbered sequentially, you can create a list of the folder names in a text file and then import the text file into the program.

This is a great feature because it allows you to export values from a database and then use them to create folders. You could also use a program like Microsoft Excel to create own naming scheme.

The program has a large number of features and works extremely fast. Here is a list of features:

Ability to pad leading zero’s in the file name to keep the length of each folder name equal:
Ability to copy the generated folder names to the clipboard for easy saving as a text file or further modification of the list.
Ability to preview all of your new folders before actually creating them, just press the Preview button.
Create up to 20,000 new folders at a time.
No installation needed, simple download and run the EXE file from your computer or USB flash drive.
Ability to use constants in the prefix and suffix, %D and %T, which will insert the current short data and time respectively.
Support for comment lines in the text files used as the folder name source.

Overall, the program is very well-thought out and takes care of just about anything you would need to modify when creating a large number of folders. Enjoy!
