:-) I thought so as well.

I asume the security settings of the directory below which I created 
mine were setup to give no write permission to Everybody.

If I changed the parent directories security settings with the explorer 
everything behaved fine.

So if the parent directories security settings are unknown it seems 
mkdir() is not sufficient and I have to use some win32 calls
as mentioned in the url of Tim's reply to have the correct settings.
