    I bet what he's looking for is an obscure function called something like ::DoMySpecialThingRightNow() instead of an intuitive name like ::CreateDirectory().... I mean, who would ever think of that... :rolleyes:

    Well CreateDirectory is useless. He actually needs CreateDirectoryHierarchy... :-D

      There's a lot of hard ways to do it... I prefer simple:

      ::SHCreateDirectory(NULL, L"c:\\Test\\Temp");

      *edit* While easy, I just noticed SHCreateDirectory[Ex] is deprecated. Bummer.

            Hi, Actually CreateDirectory does not create all directories in hierarchy. I solved this problem by using MakeSureDirectoryPathExists. Thanks.

                  Hi, I used 'SHCreateDirectory' but got 'SHCreateDirectory': undeclared identifier. CreateDirectory API does not suite to my requirement becuase it creates directory only if parent directory exist. I got MakeSureDirectoryPathExists API which fulfil my requirements. Thanks for your help.

                      The Boost libraries have a create_directories () function that does precisely this. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp[^]
