Create folders in Window Explorer from tab or csv files export
 

I am a yearbook advisor and would like to be able to create individual
folders for students (seniors), for whom we must scan pictures, without
creating them one at a time. Is there a way to export a list of names into
Windows Explorer to create a folder for each student?

Here's a quick macro - no error checking - that creates a subdir for each
student in the selected range of an Excel sheet

Sub md()
Const strPath = "C:\Students\"
Dim cc As Range

For Each cc In Selection
MkDir strPath & cc.Text
Next

End Sub
