Create a .bat file inside the folder in which to create these sub-folders,
and copy inside the following text:

@echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
FOR /l %%N in (1,1,94) do (
 set "NUM=00%%N"
 set "DIRNAME=ch.!NUM:~-3!
 md !DIRNAME!
)

Double-click the .bat file and it will create the required chapters.

In the future, if you wish to create for example numbers 95 to 110,
just change the FOR line to:

FOR /l %%N in (95,1,110) do (

Here's a one-line PowerShell script:

for ($i=1; $i -lt 95; $i++) $name = [string]::Format("ch.0", $i.ToString("000")); New-Item -Path "c:sourcetemp" -Name $name -ItemType "directory" 

Assuming you're on Windows, you can do Start > Run > "powershell.exe" > OK, then copy/paste this to the command line.

Note that you'll want to change c:sourcetemp to the directory where you want the folders, and you can adjust the range to be created by adjusting the values in the for statement, where you see 1 and 95.
