In theory you could achieve this by associating an event handler with your document library. Then in the event handlers ItemAdded event you could determine the type of folder that was created (from what you said this could be based on content type) and then go and create the appropriate sub folders based on info stored elsewhere (perhaps in a list?)

Say I create a new folder in the document library, then the system will automatically generate three more sub-folders under this folder such as “Draft”, “Final”, and “Archive”. I prefer using a folder-based Content Type for implementing this. Actually I have already created such a Content Type named “Project Folder”, so I could use Document Library’s “New- Project Folder” drop-down menu to create a new folder with several customised fields for this folder type, e.g. “Due Date”, “Status”, and “Manager”. Any possible solution? Any comments are welcome. Thanks a lot.
