DOS Directories and Files

Create a Subdirectory

To create a subdirectory, we will need to use the MAKE DIRECTORY command, a.k.a. MD. The MD command is useful for organizing files on our hard drive. With subdirectories, we can create and store related files together. For example, one subdirectory could be used to store all word processing files and another for all spreadsheet files.   Directions: 1. Type: md \info and press Enter. 2. Type: dir *. and press Enter. 3. Notice the *. will list only the subdirectories.
