Working with folderscreating the basic folder

Just the steps

To create a folder 1. Create a file system object by using Createobject. 2. Use the createfolder command to create the folder.

Createbasicfolder. vbs

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("c:\fso1")

 

Creating Multiple folders

Createmultifolders. vbs

Option Explicit

Dim numFolders

Dim folderPath

Dim folderPrefix

Dim objFSO

Dim objFolder

Dim i

Dim objSHell

Dim myDocs

Set objSHell = CreateObject("wscript.shell")

myDocs = objSHell.SpecialFolders("mydocuments")

numFolders = 10

folderPath = myDocs & "\"

folderPrefix = "TempUser"

For i = 1 To numFolders

  Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

  Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(folderPath & folderPreFix & i)

WScript.Echo(i - 1 & " folders created")
