On Windows is there an interface for Copying Folders?

Question

I want to copy folder A and paste to desktop.

I am currently using C++ so preferably an OO interface if available.

On Windows (Win32), you could use SHFileOperation, eg:

SHFILEOPSTRUCT s = { 0 };
s.hwnd = m_hWnd;
s.wFunc = FO_COPY;
s.fFlags = FOF_SILENT;
s.pTo = "C:\\target folder\0";
s.pFrom = "C:\\source folder\\*\0";
SHFileOperation(&s);
