if you know folers name use of String Table of course before this if your folders are like a b c d...ab ac dc,... use of numbers and convert numbers with
itoa or CString::FormatforPathFileExiststhen you can check and create 28 folder with a loop (I think you use of a b c d),but if you different names use of String Table and insert folders name on it and read of it ;)

What if you have a 14 folders intermediate to create the innermost folder? Use
SHCreateDirectory()orSHCreateDirectoryEx()instead.SHCreateDirectory(NULL, TEXT("D:\\Hi there\\Good luck"));

I think you need to download the latest Platform SDK.

SHCreateDirectoryEx(NULL, TEXT("C:\\A\\B\\C")); There is a third parameter to the
Exversion of this function! Did you not even look at this function in the documentation? theExversion of this function allows you to define security attributes to the folder that you create. That is the third parameter while using theExversion and that is the only difference betweenSHCreateDirectory()andSHCreateDirectoryEx(). If you do not want to define security attributes, then do not use theExversion.

You need to download latest platform SDK. If its already there. Update include directories settings for your IDE, to point to updated SDK.

In addition to my previous reply. Mentioned API's are available with IE version 6 onwards. Make sure sure it is present on your machine. And to compile youe code , your need to update IE version in your app, too.
#ifdef _WIN32_IE
#undef _WIN32_IE
#endif
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0601Use above line of code in your application. Before including concern API file.
