First, always try Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=copy+files+in+vb&hl=en The first result of that search being: http://www.control.com/thread/1026222696 In which someone says "See the FileCopy method in VB. The syntax is: FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile". Then, if that's not enough for you, back to Google: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=vb+FileCopy which brings us to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/36xbexyf(v=VS.90).aspx and if that's not enough for you then you probably shouldn't be using the internet. Remember, always try Google.

I know it is possible, as I had a virus do it to a Gateway 509GE I used to have. Every night, even though it was off, shutdown, not in sleep mode, it would turn itself on at a certain time. I fixed it by resetting the bios and completely reformatting the disk. But I don't know how the turning itself on was done.
