Are you sure? The following sentence in MoveFileEx documentation[^]:
If a file is moved across volumes, MoveFileEx does not move the security descriptor with the file. The file is assigned the default security descriptor in the destination directory.
make me think you actually can. :)

i tested MoveFileEx function. it can not move directory in different drive, with LastError = 5

That's 'access denied' maybe your application hasn't the rights to access the source/destination folder. :)

thank you all. i found my solution: it is SHFiliOperation function.
SHFILEOPSTRUCT SHDirOp;
ZeroMemory(&SHDirOp, sizeof(SHFILEOPSTRUCT));
SHDirOp.hwnd = NULL;
SHDirOp.wFunc = FO_COPY;
SHDirOp.pFrom = "D:\\SourceDir\0";
SHDirOp.pTo = "C:\\DesDir\0";
SHDirOp.fFlags = FOF_MULTIDESTFILES|FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR|FOF_NOCONFIRMATION;if (SHFileOperation(&SHDirOp) == 0) AfxMessagBo("success");Zo.Naderi-Iran
