Well, file-transfer speed depends on your HDD spin-rate or SSD's max transfer-speed. What this API is offering here is the copy code in the raw form, which would be good but not really noticeable.

Full API with description

If you leave the bFailIfExists Boolean, it is the same as:

Code:
FileCopy(source, destination)
'Or
IO.File.Copy(source, destination)

If you are looking to squeeze out performance, then reduce string concatenations (& or +) in your code, especially in Loops. That will make your Loops faster. Smile
