This article was previously published under Q102360 SUMMARY
When you are using File Manager in Windows NT to create a directory,
you can simultaneously create a subdirectory by adding a backslash (\)
between the directory name and the subdirectory name.
In File Manager, choose Create Directory from the File menu, and when
you are prompted, enter the names of the directory and subdirectory
you are creating, for example:
TESTDIR\TEST
Choose the OK button. Both a TESTDIR directory and a \TEST
subdirectory will be created.
This procedure works with any file system in Windows NT. Creation of
subdirectories at a Command Prompt using this parameter are invalid.
NOTE: If a space is added before or after the backslash on a drive
with a FAT file system, a syntax error message is generated. Spaces
are valid when using the NTFS or the HPFS file systems.
