Maybe that?

Code:

If Not Directory.Exists(GetFolderPath(Application.StartupPath) & "\Config") Then

Code:

            Directory.CreateDirectory(GetFolderPath(Application.StartupPath) & "\Config")
        End If

Code:

If Not Directory.Exists(GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\MineCafe") Then

Code:

            Directory.CreateDirectory(GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\MineCafe")
        End If

1: Application.StartupPath
2: SpecialFolder.ApplicationData

I don't know tho. (Since I don't code VB.Net)

yeh, but i want every thing to be on startup.

I think the first source is for minecraft (Installation directory is appdata)

The second source is the same directory where the user start the exe.

hehe thats true!

This is why people should learn to use Visual Studio's rich debugging features. One breakpoint and you'd realize that Application.StartupPath is already a fully qualified directory.

Code:

If Not IO.Directory.Exists(IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Config")) Then
    IO.Directory.Create(IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Config"))
End If

Simple.
[/code]
