Default Copy a folder and objects

From a workbook I wanted a button that would copy a folder to another
drive. After dinging around I came up with this:

Set CpyFolder = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
CpyFolder.CopyFolder "c:\TestIt", "d:\TestIt", overwrite
End Sub

This works but I have no idea why. The CopyFolder only works if you use
a Set = something then use the Something.copyfolder. This seems just
idiotic and useless.

Why not just "Copy c:\folder, d:\folder" and make it easy? What is the
purpose of adding the complication of objects?

Also... the copy process was 10 times slower than dragging it in xp.

Is there a faster way of doing it?

Thanks
