This is unfortunately not correct. There are several tools you can use to
create new directories, but FileIO is not one of them. Try FileXtra,
BudAPI, OSUtil etc for this.
It'd be nice if FileIO did this, but it doesn't.

People often tend to include characters in passwords that might give you
filename problems on Windows. A possible way to remedy this is to include
the password as part of the contents of the file. For that matter, you
could create a single "QuizResults.txt" file that contains a data stucture
similar to the following:
[ [#name:"Joe Schmoe",#password:"1234",#questionFinished:7,#score:89 ] ]
And each time a new user takes the quiz, you can add them to the list. This
way, you'd have only a single file to read, you'd always know where it is,
and you wouldn't have to deal with users typing mistakes when trying to
locate it.
Hope this helps,
Rob
