The prototype for WinCreateObjects is:

      HOBJECT APIENTRY WinCreateObject(PSZ pszClassName,
                                       PSZ pszTitle,
                                       PSZ pszSetupString,
                                       PSZ pszLocation,
                                       ULONG ulFlags );

where pszSetupString is a.o. the object id. For example:

    WinCreateObject(
      "WPFolder",
      "My Folder",
      "OBJECTID=;",
      "",
      CO_FAILIFEXISTS
    );

If you want to create a folder in this folder, then pszLocation is
"". Also the object id should be different.
