    You can't with ISO C++. Perhaps if you posted in the forum that corresponds to your operating system or told us which operating system you use we can be more helpful.

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    International Organization for Standardization. The people who tell us what we can and can't do portably with C++.

    >Win xp pro.
    #include <windows.h>
    CreateDirectory ( "C:\\name", NULL );

    -Prelude

    internation standards organization me thinks.

    anyway, they have standards for everything. when prelude refers to iso c++ she speaks of standard C++, which you should be able to take and compile on any standards compliant platform.

    Thank you.

    Does the NULL make the folder empty?

    And what else can you put there?

    This may help. I've saved you the horror of trying to search MSDN.

    Thankyou.

    The windows.h file was not originally included in my compilier.(Borland Turbo C++ Ver 3.0)

    So I couldn't search its help file. I have to use it with Dev.
