If you want to go with pure VB code, you'd need to use a combination of the
MkDir statement (to create the Medic folder in F:\Program Files), the Dir$()
function (to get all the files in C:\Program Files\Medic), the FileCopy
statement (to copy the files you found using Dir$), the Kill statement (to
delete the files in C:\Program Files\Medic) and the RmDir statement (to
remove the Medic folder in C:\Program Files). If Medic has any subfolders,
you'll need to work with those subfolders "on their own". If Medic has any
subfolders, and if those have any subfolders (etc., etc.), this can start to
get pretty messy.

There are also numerous Win32API functions you could use that would make
this much easier. For example, SHFileOperation, which is essentially the
exact same function Windows itself uses when copying, moving, deleting files
in Windows (for example, in an Explorer window). If you search the
newsgroups at www.google.com on that function name, you should finds tons of
example code for it.
