You can use the python tool with module os. Modify the array paths to contain your desired folders. Note if you are new to python your all backslashes in your sting need to written as \\ instead of \. Separate paths with a comma delimiter if you need more than one.

Besides Python, to create a folder:

 

Use a Run Command tool to create and run a BAT file

Use the Render tool
