@MrVbdude
thanks for youre comment that helps me very much... and it was a good video

how about if you rename a file or directory base on the time/day for example you put a label for the date and time once you click the rename button then automatically the current date/time will be the name of the folder??? Coz base on my observation on your code the file name was premade  "c:\test.txt"... how can you change the "text" into a something that base on the label??? thanx

@MrTrickyProducktions use the kill statement :

there is a way to do it with multiple files but it is a bit advanced and requires dependancies so use this way for every file...

Dim bf15 As String = ...1.5"
If Directory.Exists(bf15) Then
Directory.Move(bf, bf141)

Is it possible for me to copy directory to same folder as the .exe is in?

[MrVbdude]

@RCGamerKing Hi, that will be easy to answer...ok wat u gotta do is type in ur button event..or watever u doing

My.computer.filesystem.CopyDirectory("C:\TestDirectory1", "C:\TestDirectory2", True)

There is no need to type in (selectedpath) and make sure u don't type "C:\TestDirectory1\" cause it will copy the files in that folder...so just type in "C:\TestDirectory"...and not "\"..!

Thanks and please subscribe if u can...! I make a lot of helpful Vb.net Videos =) :P

[buddyroach]

how do i move the contents of one folder to another folder without deleting the original folder they were in?
heres my code:

 My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveDirectory("Folder1", "Folder2")

It moves all the files that are in Folder1 to Folder2 just fine. But it deletes Folder1.
But I want Folder 1 to stay. Anyone know how to fix this? Preferably without changing my code completely??
