Create subdir in windows dir

DizWiz

Hi!,

Im am using the VB Express Beta2 but cannot figure out how to create a
subdir in the windows directory.

Code:

Dim windowsdir as String
Dim dircreate
dircreate="backup"
windowsdir=environ$("windir")
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(windowsdir)

I want to create the directory "backup" under the windows directory and i
don't want to use
the absolute path, what am i missing?

Thanks.

Pardon my ignorance but what on earth is VB Express?

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may
get a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has
dropped .NET from its name) questions here, you should ask them in
newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups
with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups for Visual Basic
..NET related questions...

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.upgrade
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.data

And these for more general .NET questions

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

Note: There are many other .NET newgroups (use the first three "fields"
from the last two as templates when searching for them), but the above
ones should get you started.

I would assume you need
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(windowsdir & "\" & dircreate)

since recreating the windows directory itself is probably frowned upon.
