Either allows the shell to move, copy, delete, or rename a folder or printer object, or disallows the shell from carrying out the operation. The shell calls each copy hook handler registered (see Comments below) for a folder or printer object until either all the handlers have been called or one of them returns IDCANCEL.

UINT CopyCallback(

HWND hwnd,	//Handle of the parent window for displaying UI objects
UINT wFunc,	//Operation to perform.
UINT wFlags,	//Flags that control the operation
LPCSTR pszSrcFile,	//Pointer to the source file
DWORD dwSrcAttribs,	//Source file attributes
LPCSTR pszDestFile,	//Pointer to the destination file
DWORD dwDestAttribs	//Destination file attributes
);

Parameters
hwnd
Handle of the window that the copy hook handler should use as the parent window for any user interface elements the handler may need to display. If FOF_SILENT is specified, the method should ignore this parameter.

wFunc
Operation to perform. This parameter can be one of the following values:

FO_COPY 0x0002	Copies the file specified by pszSrcFile to the location specified by pszDestFile.
FO_DELETE 0x0003	Deletes the file specified by pszSrcFile.
FO_MOVE 0x0001	Moves the file specified by pszSrcFile to the location specified by pszDestFile.
FO_RENAME 0x0004	Renames the file specified by pszSrcFile.
PO_DELETE 0x0013	Deletes the printer specified by pszSrcFile.
PO_PORTCHANGE 0x0020	Changes the printer port. The pszSrcFile and pszDestFile parameters contain double null-terminated lists of strings. Each list contains the printer name followed by the port name. The port name in pszSrcFile is the current printer port, and the port name in pszDestFile is the new printer port.
PO_RENAME 0x0014	Renames the printer specified by pszSrcFile.
PO_REN_PORT 0x0034	Combination of PO_RENAME and PO_PORTCHANGE.

wFlags
Flags that control the operation. This parameter can be a combination of the following values:

FOF_ALLOWUNDO 0x0040	Preserves undo information (when possible).
FOF_CONFIRMMOUSE 0x0002	Not implemented.
FOF_FILESONLY 0x0080	Not implemented. The shell calls a copy hook handler only for folder objects, not files.
FOF_MULTIDESTFILES 0x0001	The SHFileOperation function specified multiple destination files (one for each source file) rather than one directory where all the source files are to be deposited. A copy hook handler typically ignores this value.
FOF_NOCONFIRMATION 0x0010	Responds with "yes to all" for any dialog box that is displayed.
FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR 0x0200	Does not confirm the creation of any needed directories if the operation requires a new directory to be created.
FOF_RENAMEONCOLLISION 0x0008	Gives the file being operated on a new name, such as, "Copy #1 of ...", in a copy, move, or rename operation when a file with the target name already exists.
FOF_SILENT 0x0004	Displays no progress dialog box.
FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS 0x0100	Displays a progress dialog box, but the dialog box does not show the names of the files.

pszSrcFile
Pointer to a string that contains the name of the source file.

dwSrcAttribs
Attributes of the source file. This parameter can be a combination of any of the file attribute flags (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_*) defined in the Windows header files.

pszDestFile
Pointer to a string that contains the name of the destination file.

dwDestAttribs
Attributes of the destination file. This parameter can be a combination of any of the file attribute flags (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_*) defined in the Windows header files.

Return Value
Returns an integer value that indicates whether or not the shell should perform the operation. It can be one of the following:

IDYES

Allows the operation.

IDNO

Prevents the operation on this file, but continues with any other operations (for example, a batch copy operation).

IDCANCEL

Prevents the current operation and cancels any pending operations.

Comments
You need to register your copyhook handler. For example, …\directory copyhook handlers are registered under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\directory\shellex\CopyHookHandlers\your_copyhook\{copyhook CLSID value}. Other registry keys associated with shell extensions are: *, Folder, Drives, Printers, Unknown, and AudioCD.

The shell initializes the ICopyHook interface directly, when ICopyHook::CopyCallback is called, without using an IShellExtInit or IPersistFile interface first.
