Is it some kind of shell extension? When you save a web page (complete) from Internet Explorer, you end up with a file named webpage.htm and a folder in the same directory named webpage_files. If you then copy and paste, or drag and drop, both the file and the associated folder are copied. I assume it's some kind of shell extension, but I can't figure out how to find the documentation on how this is implemented, as I'd like to do something similar with a file and it's related files for one of my projects.

As far as I'm aware, it is something built into explorer itself. It's a shame they didn't make it generic though and work for files other then .html. -- Dean Earley (dean.earley@icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems

I've been searching around some more, and it appears that it's called "Connected Files", and seems to be built into the SHFileOperation command. So there doesn't appear to be a simple way to do it.
