I have a few issues with the shell folder stuff:

1)
copyhere, i can not suppress overwrite and hide the progressbar during copy.
I would like to overwrite existing files without confirmation.

2)
I can not synchronize the copy process, it is done via a thread i guess but then when i wish to copy from the main procedure the app will exit right away.
And the shell.application stuff will not be able to copy the files.

3)
The verb for folder + file delete is unclear to me, any idea how to use it?
I suspect i need a reference to a file like .item( "filename" ).Doverb("delete") ??

I prefer to use the shell.application over any other method in this case.

Sorry, I never have used it. I prefer to use the FileSystemObject.
