Rules at a Glance
source must end with either a wildcard character or no path separator.
Wildcard characters can be used in source, but only for the last component.
Wildcard characters can't be used in destination.
All subfolders and files contained within the source folder are copied to destination unless disallowed by the wildcard characters. That is to say, the MoveFolder method is recursive.
If destination ends with a path separator or Source ends with a wildcard, MoveFolder assumes that the folder in Source exists in Destination. For example, given the following folder structure:
C:\ Rootone SubFolder1 SubFolder2 RootTwo
MoveFolder "c:\Rootone\*", "C:\RootTwo\" produces this folder structure:
C:\ Rootone RootTwo SubFolder1 SubFolder2
MoveFolder "c:\Rootone", "C:\RootTwo\" produces this folder structure:
C:\ RootTwo Rootone SubFolder1 SubFolder2
source and destination can be either absolute or relative paths.
source and destination can be network paths or share names. ...
