DriverMakeDirectory

Create the desired directory using the driver, whilst inheriting driver privileges (e.g. access to blocked drives). If recursive key is true, then non-existent intermediate directories will be created. If recursive key is false (or omitted), then the presence of non-existent intermediate directories will result in WAAPI_ERROR_NOT_FOUND. Requires administrative privileges and active connection to driver (only if operating on blocked drive).
