Return code Description
COPYENGINE_S_USER_IGNORED
 The destination item already exists and has not been overwritten. In this case, ppsiNew is NULL and the caller should delete the source item.
COPYENGINE_S_MERGE
 The destination item already exists and the user has chosen to merge the source and destination folders. In this case, ppsiNew points to a NULL value and the caller should delete the source item.
E_NOINTERFACE
 When the item being moved is a folder, the caller should convert a move operation into a copy and delete operation.
ERROR_NOT_SAME_DEVICE
 The caller should convert a move operation into a copy and delete operation. This error is seen as HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_SAME_DEVICE).
ERROR_FILE_EXISTS
 When moving a folder, the caller should convert the move operation into a copy and delete operation. The destination item must support ITransferDestination. This error is seen as HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_FILE_EXISTS).
ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS
 When moving a folder, the caller should convert the move operation into a copy and delete operation. The destination item must support ITransferDestination. This error is seen as HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS).
