Simplify your creation by typing a list of the folder names in a text document, and get a program to do all the manual work.<br />The first thing you need to do is type a list of the folders you want to create in a plain text document. You should put every new folder on a new line. If you want to create sub-folders just put a “\” after the parent folder and type the name of the subfolder. Save this anywhere on your PC just make sure you remember where you save it.<br /><a name="more"></a><br /><img alt="sshot-14" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="398" src="http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-142.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-14" width="629" /><br />Now head over the the developers website, and grab yourself a free copy of <a href="http://skwire.dcmembers.com/wb/pages/software/text-2-folders.php">Text 2 Folders</a>. Once the portable application has downloaded unzip the file and run it.<br /><img alt="sshot-15" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="189" src="http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-152.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-15" width="450" /><br />Click the top browse button, the one on the root folder row, and browse for a folder that you want your folder structure to be created under. Now hit the second browse button and locate the text file we created earlier.<br /><img alt="sshot-16" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="189" src="http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-163.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-16" width="450" /><br />Click create folders and that’s all there is to it.<br /><img alt="sshot-17" border="" class="lazyLoad" height="375" src="http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sshot-172.png" style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="sshot-17" width="650" /></div></div>
