This has already been implemented in MapBasic source code using the Windows APIs.
My implementation is not complete because I don't offer the user the ability to create a new folder, but I think that some one did this some time ago - it might have been Bill Thoen (was it you, Bill ?) Another thing that I found useful when creating folders is to be able to create all folders in a given path !! So I created a function that takes a path,, and loops thru the single folders, creating the ones that not already exists.

Not helpful to Berk, but a comment - What MB is missing is use of the SHBrowseForFolder Windows API - a simple project for someone to wrap this call as a DLL built with C or Delphi. The problem with the API calls suggested so far is that they require the user to know what path they want to create, and that may need a test to see if it already exists. The visual method using the browse for folder is easier to handle.
