Is there any way I can use a text file to create multiple folders on a Win2k volume? I am in the process of migrating users from Novell and need to create a share for each user. I don't mind going back and assigning share and NTFS permissions... just trying to save some time.

TIA!

BAT file.
Open Notepad and type in the following (as an example):

MD c:\users\bob
MD c:\users\tom
MD c:\users\john

Save the file with the BAT extention. If you use Notepad to make the file, then when you click Save As, and the text box forthe file name comes up, just put the file name you want to use in between quotation marks. So, to save the file with the name MAKEDIRS.BAT, you would just type "MAKEDIRS.BAT" in the filename box.

Then just double-click the BAT file and watch it run.

hope this helps
