Introduction: Funny Folder Prank
This will teach you how to make an unlimmited amount of folders in any place you want it will just keep making them untill you exit
i aloud it to run for 5 seconds and it made over 1,000 folders
Step 1: Step 1
All you have to do is type
@echo off
:top
md %random%
goto top
@echo off makes it so that it appears to be a blank screen but actually its making hundreds of folders and the only time it will say something is if it creats the same title twice
then save it in the folder you want it to make the folders in, save it as funnyfolderprank.bat or watever you want just so it says .bat at the end
Step 2: Short-cuts
People probably not going to click on an icon that looks like this
picture so to make it better (funnier and easier to prank people
with) make a short-cut to it, put the actual one in the folder you
want it to make folders in and on the desktop or what they go
to most and right click and say - New - Shortcut - and then click
browse and find the file, then name it something and click finsh.
Then right click on the shortcut and say properties then click
change icon and find the one that looks like a movie film (tell
the person that you found the movie they wanted and downloaded it
on there computer, that way they will think its a shortcut to the
movie and they will click on it then they will think its loading
so they wont exit right away when they finally realize its not
going to load or so many errors have came up they realized
somethings wrong it will be to late)
also just something to know its impossible to delete them using
cmd you HAVE to find all of them and delete them manually... ouch
ha ha
Step 3: Finished Shortcut
When the shortcut is finished it should look like this only with the name you choose
Step 4: Other Instructables
For more of my instructables type in "trivia game" or "how to make a trivia game" click on the one with a red picture and says computerfaker3 on the bottom

If you change the md line to read: "md %random% > nul" (ignore the quotes, it's just so you can see the command line) then even if random hits the same value more than once you won't get any error messages. The > nul part means redirect standard output to nul which is a special device that discards any input. Also, this will work on any PC running any version of Windows. The script is a batch file so it'll actually work in MS-DOS too, so no need to use Vista/XP/W7 or the like.

i just made a new version
in this one you can choose the directory you want the folders to be made on
@echo off
:top
echo enter a directory on the host computer.
set /p dir1=
cd %dir1%
pause
cls
echo loading...
md %random%
goto top

Mines still better because with mine you just place it in the folder you want it to make the folders in then you just make it hidden, then create a shortcut to it with a internet explore icon or one like the one above.
