Making Folders (Resolved)

[Ricky1]

ok, one of my mates has requested this.

Would it be possible to load a list of words and for the program to make a folder called everyname on the list ?? In the same path as where the program is.

That one is not going to get answered, as it could be construed as harmful.
Nobody would want that, and it would be a pita to get rid of.

Tell your friend to ask his own questions, so he can get banned.

y is it harmful ? he wants it so he can load a list of all the albums, games and movies that he has download, (which is a hell of alot) and make separate folders for them. Save a hell of alot of time.

[dglienna]

Are you sure that it is on the up-and-up?

Heres the mate here.....

Harmful???

"Could" be construed as harmful ??

Well if you didn't know, anything can be harmful... And as you say COULD, that doesn't mean WILL.

All hes asking is how you make a folder in VB, nothing special is it?


So email microsofts security department and tell them how making a folder can be harmful, if youre lucky they might even remove folders altogether in the next version of windows and stop all these security risks.

Afterall, microsoft are always looking for feedback

Just don't load a dictionary into a listbox.

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim x As Integer
  List1.AddItem "test"  ' You can add your own folder names here
  List1.AddItem "lost"
  List1.AddItem "trust" ' or load them from a file
  ChDir App.Path ' "c:\temp"  ' to test
  For x = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
    MkDir List1.List(x)
  Next x
  MsgBox "Done!"
Unload Me
End Sub

Use it in good health.

Even if i did, would it be your fault?

Ill have to start learning to program myself so i dont need to get rick to do it all
