1. Folder object
The RootFolder attribute of the Driver object returns a Folder object through which all content in the drive can be accessed. You can use the properties and methods of this Folder object to traverse the directory on the drive and obtain the properties of this Folder and other folders.
(1) attributes of the Folder object
The Folder object provides a set of attributes to get more information about the current Folder. You can also change the Folder name. The attributes and descriptions are shown in Table 5-9:
Table 5-9 attributes and descriptions of the Folder object

For example, for a hidden read-only file, the value of Attributes is 3.

(2) method of Folder object
The Folder object provides a set of methods for copying, deleting, and moving the current Folder. These methods run in the same way as the CopyFolder, DeleFolder, and MoveFolder methods of the FileSystemObject object, but these methods do not require the source parameter because the source file is the folder. These methods and descriptions are shown in Table 5-10:
Table 5-10 Folder object methods and descriptions
Method
Description
Copy (destination, overwrite)
Copy the folder and all contents to the folder specified by destination. If destination ends with a path separator (''), destination is considered to be a folder for storing the copy folder. Otherwise, destination is the path and name of the new folder to be created. If the target folder already exists and the overwrite parameter is set to False, an error is generated. The default overwrite parameter is True.
