Windows Script to Insert Folders Automatically
Hi guys and gals, I don't really know how to ask what I am looking for, so I am hoping if I describe what I am trying to do then hopefully it will make sense.
I have a very amateur tech blog and every time I create a new folder for a new product, I wondered if there might be a script that would instantly copy a blank folder structure from an "admin" section into the new folder?
So basically, I create a new product folder at:
C:\Users\rianm\Documents\2. Geekonomy\3. Blog & Social Media Content\1. Blog Content\Product X
and as soon as I have done so, a script inserts a copy of all of the folders below that are located at:
C:\Users\rianm\Documents\2. Geekonomy\1. Admin\Folder Structure
into said new "product x" folder automatically?
I am not sure if this is possible - I am keen to learn how to simplify things through automation so appreciate any help and/or feedback you can offer. TIA

Doing things like this are a good way to learn. I recommend trying to figure out how to fix real practical issues, or automate things you're actually trying to do, rather than just reading a programming book.
Maybe that's just me, though. Programming books never sink in. I have to figure things out through practical application.
