If I want to to include everything in a folder, can I do something
like:

C:/folder1/*

where * means all folders in folder1 ?

In days of dos back slashes were supreme! C:\folder1\*.* should work if you
have such a thing as a folder called "folder1" on your puter. Otherwise you
will need a real name.

FWIW

That would only specify the contained files and not the folders.

You need to use backslashes, instead of slashes.

The answer is just to use nothing.

C:\folder1\

.... is the whole folder, and everything it contains.
