"Folder" is rather a metaphor for UI and for the users, at the API level this is "Directory".

Using Win32 API:

GetFileAttributes

- to check if directory exists, then

CreateDirectory

- to create directory if needed.

This is the MSDN article with sample using both functions.
This is codeproject solution to help you.
Good luck,

How to check whether it is already exists or not, if it exists, leave it as such, if it doesnt exists,then it should be created

Did you check the MSDN link and properly read it ?? No
If you are using SHCreateDirectoryEx, CreateDirectory and your directory is already exist than you receive an error message: ERROR_FILE_EXISTS.
If you want to create file recursively than use
SHCreateDirectoryEx.

You can use CreateDirectory(szDirPath,NULL) to create a directory.
