Name

md or mkdir

Synopsis

Use md to make a directory (folder), rooted in the current directory (set with cd). The syntax is:

md [drive:]path
               

Examples

md harry
md c:\olddir\newdir

Note that folder names with spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks; the following two commands yield different results:

C:\>md rolling stones
C:\>md "rolling stones"
