Do you mean all directories on a single drive or throughout the whole operating system?

I can't think of any reason that you would need to check the OS. There are differences in the directory structure from XP to Vista of course but if you are listing all directories this would not be an issue.
If you want to use VB code then you would use the Dir$() function recursively or optionally you could use the FSO
There are some folders that will deny access and may throw an error so you have to account for that.

whole operating system , shared folder / my documents / pictures / music / windows / and system32
i need to first list all directory , second task copy files to were ever i want

[electrodoc]

Command Promt..
DIR *.* /S /AD>C:\MYDIRLIST.txt

writes a list of all folders to a text file..

There are ways to Manipulate the list But i forget the syntax.

OR..
tree /a>c:\DirTree.txt
tree /a /f>c:\TreeWithFile.txt

You can probably find the code to do what you want in the project here.

Against my better judgement... I'm going to allow myself to get sucked into this thread for a moment...

what you're looking for is the Dir() function

I'll leave it to you to figure the details.

You didn't search though the whole code.
