The folders you are referring to are virtual, they do not exist on the file
system, and thus you cannot copy files to them directly via the normal file
operation functions.  Virtual folders can only be accessed via the
IShellFolder interface, and the only way they can accept incoming data is
via the IDataObject interface.  As for the actual moving of files, about the
only thing I can think of, without using Drag&Drop visually, is to create an
IDataObject that contains the filenames, then "copy" the IDataObject onto
the clipboard via OleSetClipboard(), and then let the virtual folder "paste"
the IDataObject as it sees fit.  This assumes that the virtual folder even
knows how to work with the clipboard to begin with, though.

Have a look at the following article for more information:
