This just made my job so much easier. I had to make about 400 named folders to drag and drop photos into. I already had the names in excel. I spent about 10 minutes making the folders manually before I decided to Google if there was a better way, and I found this video.

While this didn't show me exactly what I was looking for, I cannot believe I didn't know about the trick of typing "cmd" into the location bar. That is seriously awesome.

Great content saved me 30 mins of manual work.

This command does work but only with simple titles that doesn't contain a symbol and you don't have to put a comma between each folder just leave a space in between each folder.If you don't believe me try it for yourself, I did it on windows 11

great tip, help me a lot. By the way are there any way to make the folders appear in the exact order as you write in cmd: January, February, Mrach... instead of April, August, December... thanks

"random word" from the name is not recognized as an internal or external command. Seems like the folder name can only be one word.

TY! Can you pls explain...how to copy the arrangement of sorting columns from an explorer window, to the other folders?
Example: Audio recordings. I create "type, " "length, " "Date Modified, " and "size, " columns. I don't want to have to do this again and again for each folder! Is there a way to automate this? Thanks again!
