Rather than an API call, I'd recommend installing the Windows Scripting Host files on your target PCs, and then using Scripting.FileSystemObject to perform the necessary work. You can get more information on the WSH (part of Win98 and Win2K, and addable to almost any system by running a self-installing, redistributable exectable that can be downloaded from the same web site) at msdn.microsoft.com/scripting
