You cannot use CopyFile to copy content of a folder.. Other wise you have to copy all the files in folder one by one..

   sfo.hwnd = NULL;
   sfo.wFunc = FO_COPY;
   sfo.pFrom = pFrom;
   sfo.pTo = pTo;
   sfo.fFlags = FOF_SILENT | FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR;

Suppose you have folder c:\folder1 and you want that drive to move to d:. In this case the CopyFolder should be called as

CopyFolder( _T("C:\\folder1\\*\0"), _T("D:\\folder1\\\0"));

I think you should append * in the Destination variable.

<br />
....<br />
Destination = _T("C:\\");	<br />
Destination += PathFindFileName(Source[aq]);<br />
Destination += _T("\\*\0");<br />
.....<br />

You shouldn't need to use the escape character for back-slashes within a string, should you?

I'm fairly certain it works without them.

~~CString Destination= _T("C:\\Test\\");<br /> Destination+= PathFindFileName(source[aq]);<br /> Destination+="\\0";~~

CString Destination= _T("C:\Test\");<br />
	Destination+= PathFindFileName(source[aq]);<br />
	Destination+="\0";

try that.
