I am trying to create a Windows Forms application that will allow the enduser to be able to backup their genuine Windows 7 Activation file. They user can then, reinstall Windows 7 and then restore their Activation status on the same machine. I have the GUI the way I want it to look, but I am having difficulties with the code that is used to copy the files.

Thanks in Advance.

I need help writing code that will copy the files below to the same directory that the Backup application is in.

Here are the file locations:

Code:
%SystemDrive%\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetWorkService\
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwarePlatform\Tokens.dat

%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms

%SystemDrive%\Windows\SysWOW64\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig\pkeyconfig.xrm-ms



Code:
#pragma once


namespace Windows7Activation {

	using namespace System;
	using namespace System::ComponentModel;
	using namespace System::Collections;
	using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
	using namespace System::Data;
	using namespace System::Drawing;
