SHFileOperation Wrapper Class

This is the CShellFileOp class. I wrote this so i could use the standard windows explorer copy/move/delete/rename file methods.
The idea is to create a CShellFileOp object, add all the source path/filenames and destination path/filenames and then delete/copy/move/rename.

A sample function has been included which shows a multiple file copy operation.

	//							operation requires one to be created. 
	//
	//	FOF_RENAMEONCOLLISION	Gives the file being operated on a new name (such as 
	//							"Copy #1 of...") in a move, copy, or rename operation if a 
	//							file of the target name already exists. 
	//
	//	FOF_SILENT				Does not display a progress dialog box. 
	//
	//	FOF_SIMPLEPROGRESS		Displays a progress dialog box, but does not show the 
	//							filenames.
