    DOS I/O info

    Could anyone direct me to a site where I can learn how to move folders using DOS command prompt?

            You didn't search Google very hard. I did a search for "Dos commands" and this was the first item returned.

              type:
              Code:
              md /?
              over a network:
              Code:
              md \\computername\shared\newfoldername
              try that

                Thanks. I have been able to write the following code

                Code:
                 
                for /L %%i in (1,1,9) do mkdir Z:\Chams\Branch00%%i
                for /L %%i in (10,1,99) do mkdir Z:\Chams\Branch0%%i
                mkdir Z:\Chams\Branch100
                mkdir Z:\Chams\Branch999
                pause
                Could you guys help me reduce the first 3 lines to 1 line and tell me how to get to folders in the "Documents and Settings" folder from dos prompt. As you can see above I just mapped the path I wanted to reach. I would like to use the full path
