        strFileName = txtFile.Text
        IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(strFileName)
        IO.File.Move("*.jpg", Application.StartupPath & "\" & strFileName)

Hey, this should work for you:

Private strFileName As String
    Private Sub btnMove_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMove.Click
        strFileName = txtFile.Text
            Dim di As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(Application.StartupPath)
            For Each fi As FileInfo In di.GetFileSystemInfos("*.jpg")
                fi.MoveTo("C:\Temp\" & fi.Name)
            Next
    End Sub
