Try reading about the FileSystemObject in the Help for VB. The many properties and methods will handle everything you are looking for.

Open up a project in VB6. Click on the Help menu and choose the Search menu item. In the Search textbox type in 'Visual Basic FileSystemObject' (without the quotes) and click on List Topics. This will bring up a list of items to do with FileSystemObject in VB. Click on a topic to show it.

A good place to start would be:
