   Dim proj As Project  
   Dim projitems As ProjectItems  

   ' Create a reference to the solution.  
   soln = DTE.Solution

   soln.Create("c:\temp2", "MyNewSolution")  

   ' Create a new Visual Basic Console application project.  
   ' Adjust the save path as needed.  
   proj = soln.AddFromTemplate("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vb7\VBWizards\ConsoleApplication\Templates\1033\ConsoleApplication.vbproj", "c:\temp2", "My New Project", True)  
   projitems = proj.ProjectItems  

   ' Add all of the items in the specified directory (and subdirectories)   
   ' to the project.  
   projitems.AddFromDirectory("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vb7\VBWizards\ConsoleApplication\Templates\1033")  
End Sub  

Remarks

AddFromDirectory steps through a given directory and its subdirectories, automatically adding all of its items to the project, saving you from having to do multiple add item operations.
