The easiest way is to use SHFileOperation().

Search the boards for that function, there are numerous examples.

To use SHFileOperation() under Windows 98, you need this.

An alternative is to use FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() to retrieve the files in a directory, use DeleteFile() to delete them, them RemoveDirectory() to get rid of the directory, or CreateDirectory() and then CopyFile() to copy. You can use this approach without the MSLU.

I have a three part tutorial on the use of FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() starting here. If the site 404's try again later, there is something wrong with my server.
