It is not a menu it is a dialog window. It can appear after clicking on a menu item an button etc. This dialog does not seem so hard to make and would be a good exercise in exploring the IO namespace.

i have been trying to code it....
but it just throws out too many exceptions.....
that's why i want the name of this style of dialog......
so that i can find the code for it....

It has no name in general I guess, I would call it a custom made dialog, but that can be anything of course.
It seems you can look for a folder, place the files in it in a ListBox and select files from that ListBox to the ListBox on the right. You can do some analysing(don't know what this does) and move the files to an outputfolder.
I would call it a file mover dialog.
