The common way to create folders in Windows is to right-click the folder that you are in, select New > Folder from the menu and name the folder that appears. Creating several folders that way is a long process, that's where Make New Folder comes into play. The tiny application lets the user create folder names faster by providing a menu bar for as along as you need it.
When you are in Windows Explorer you can access Make New Folder by clicking a keyboard shortcut that you defined before. The menu bar will pop up and you can enter a folder name and click on create to create that folder. While this is already nice it would still mean that the process of creating multiple folders would take a long time.
Enter the Advanced Syntax. If you want to create multiple folders you divide them with “|â€. Creating the folders test, test1 and test would make me write test | test1 | test2 into the form. Leading and trailing spaces will be stripped but are important for a better overview.
It is also possible to create subfolders this way. Subfolders are written in “<>“. To create test1 as a subfolder of test I would use the command test | test2. It is also possible to create several subfolders if you divide them with the “|†command.
Before you start you should add a keyboard shortcut to Make New Folder. You do this by right-clicking the program icon in the startmenu and selecting properties there. Now click in the Shortcut Key field and press a key combination, the author suggests ALT + F2 but any free combination will do.
It is important that the address bar and the full path of the folder is shown in Windows Explorer. To ensure this click on View > Toolbars and check the address bar entry if it does not show up. Then click onTools > Folder Options and select the View tab in the new window. Make sure “Display the full path in the address bar†is checked in there, if not do it.
