Windows XP cmd tip (DOS isn’t dead... it just smells funny) Some command-line folder creation examples:

To create multiple folders at once, add them directly to the "md" command:

C:\> md this is a test

To create a folder several folders deep, use:

C:\> md this\is\a\test

Creating a folder with a long name requires the double-quote at the beginning:

C:\> md "this is a test

Bonus tip: Windows XP supports the forward slash "/" as a folder divider. Unix/Linux users: don't let the DOS environment get you down. Use a Unix-style CD command to change your present working directory:

C:\> cd Windows/system32/drivers/etc

Sweeeeeet tip...thanks sazz biggrin.gif

Didn't know that the md command could do all that stuff. Sure beats creating a new folder and subfolder each time. Just took a look at the md help and there it is...actually didn't mention the on how to create multiple folders though cool.gif

If you want to create a whole list with eg all your song (if they have good naming), you can simply go to the folder with the music and type

dir /b > c:\file.txt

This will create a file in the root folder. The input might look like this (this is my stupid songs folder biggrin.gif)

PING! You can ping a website (and find out its IP). Just don't keep the IP information because some activities you do with it may be considered ILLEGAL or unsafe. We are all good people, so let me tell you how. All you have to do is start up Command Prompt (or CMD.exe), then type "Ping *yourwebsite.com*". Be sure to put www in the beginning!
