MD/MKDIR

Article is compatible with Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 command line. 

MD and MKDIR are used within the Windows command shell to create directories and directory trees. 

Syntax:
MD
or MKDIR [ drive: ]path
MD
or MKDIR [ /?

drive The drive you want to make your directory on.
path The path you wish to use; this can also be created during the command.
/? Displays the built-in help text.

Examples: 

  • MD F:\test\alpha\bravo\charlie\delta
    Assuming the directory test already exists on my F: drive, this command will create the directory alpha containing the directory bravo containing the folder charlie which contains the directory delta.
  • MKDIR \1\2\3\4\5
    This command will create the directory 1 at the root of the drive. Inside 1, the subdirectory 2 contains the folder 3 which holds the directory 4 which contains the directory 5.
