I don't see how it could not do that. If it doesn't goto :createFolder, it will fall through to :createFolder. Then it will echo 'successful'. There's no path for it not to do that.

CSS

:createFolder
set /p folderName=Folder Name:
if exist %folderName% goto :error else :yes

md %folderName% (I just have to take this command line out in the :Yes command, strange isn't it?)

:yes
echo The folder %folderName% created successfully!
pause > nul
goto :1
exit

:error
echo The folder %folderName% already exist!
Pause > nul
goto :1
exit
