Folder Template

[confused_50]

hello, hope you can help!

At work i create the same folder with the same sub folders five or six times a day. At present I have a template on the desktop that I copy and rename every time.

Is there a better way? I've been trying in vane to add a "create my folder" icon to the "file and folder tasks" pane which would be ideal.

Can this is be done, or if not is there a better way?

Thanks in advance

there's custom written VB applications that can create folder sets that you specify. I don't know if there are any available free.

alternatively you can write a batch script to do the same thing

I would also guess that there should probably be a way to edit the registry to add the option to the context menu in windows

Why not just create a small batch file that will do this for you ?
e.g.

@echo off
md C:\Folder
md C:\Folder\Folder_a
md C:\Folder\Folder_b
md C:\Folder\Folder_c

Just paste the above into notepad and save it as makedirs.bat (make sure the extension is bat, not .txt)
The put shortcut to batch file

I think for his particular needs that example would need to get customized heavily.
