string strDestopPath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);

Following Namespace Used

using System.IO;

Validate Folder is created on Desktop or Not

If folder is not created on desktop then it will create otherwise it will skip to create a new folder on Desktop.

if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(strDestopPath))

Create Folder on Desktop

DirectoryInfo object is used to create folder on desktop.

DirectoryInfo di = System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(strDestopPath);

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
         string strDestopPath =  System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);
         strDestopPath += "\\Downloads";
         if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(strDestopPath))
         {
             DirectoryInfo di = System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(strDestopPath);
             MessageBox.Show("Successfully Created");
         }
         else
         {
             MessageBox.Show("Already Created!");
         }
         strDestopPath += "\\New Download";
         if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(strDestopPath))
         {
             DirectoryInfo di = System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(strDestopPath);
         }
