It's a access permisson issue. if you create directory on C:\. This is protected (by design) in Vista and Windows 7 (and Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2) - normal user accounts do not have any permission to create directories in there
You need to login with Administrator and then try your code.

As the others have said, this comes down to a permissions problem. The user that the code is running as does not have permissions to create a folder in the folder that you are trying to do this. Normal user account cannot create folders anywhere they want in the system. This is by design to protect the system and the user.

You are more than likely trying to create a folder at the root of a drive or in the Program Files folder, among others. If this is the case, you have to redesign your application so it stores its data in more appropriate locations.
