Yes, there is such a function: SHCreateDirectoryEx
[^]. To use it you must include shlobj.h and link with shell32.lib.

hi Jochen Arndt,
the link leads to a page saying 'content not found'. Can you please check this.

Fixed. The last letter of the link was lost during copy and paste.

How do I dynamically create a folder or directory in C++?
Why my code does not work?
cout << "\n\tEnterProject Name: ";
cin >> projectName;
cout << "\n\tProject Name: " << projectName << endl;
//CreateDirectoryA("C:\\" + projectName, NULL);

You have commented the CreateDirectoryA call.
