    Anyone know how to automatically create subfolders for new folders in a certain folder?


    The title might be a bit hard to understand, but I was wondering if there is a way to automatically create subfolders when you create a new folder. For example, if I have a folder for Projects, and I create a new folder in it called project1, I want that folder to automatically contain certain files and subfolders because I always need them in each of my projects. In my example, each new folder I create inside Projects would contain a subfolder called scripts and a subfolder called output. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

    How can I create subfolders automatically when a folder is created within a specific file

    Hi Randy,

    When you say, "auto populate the new project folder" are you referring to automatically create the subfolders under new project folder?

    If this is the case, unfortunately there is no such option to create folder automatically. We have to do it manually.

    I also suggest you to contact TechNet forum regarding this matter and check if you can get additional information on this.

    Thank You.

    creating new folder problem in windows 10 creator

    Hi Gudiya,

    The problem you've encountered in creating a folder could be caused by software or program conflict as the issue appeared a few days after installing the Windows 10 Creators update. For us to know if this only occurs when creating a new folder from the desktop,
    we suggest that you try creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut or from File Explorer. Please refer to the steps below:

    Creating a new folder using a keyboard shortcut.

    • Click on the desktop.
    • Press CTRL + SHIFT + N.
    • A new folder should be created.

    Creating a new folder from File Explorer.

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Hover your mouse on the location where you want to create a new folder.
    • Right-click it, go to New > Folder.

    In case the problem persists, then we suggest that you go ahead and perform a clean boot. Doing so will start your computer using minimal drivers to help us determine what conflict is causing the problem. Check out
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows for the detailed steps.

    Let us know the result so we can further assist you.

    Regards.
