The biggest hint is to buy Mark Hammonds venerable but still useful 
book: Python rogramming on Win32 

Then read the os module documents and shutil and os.path.
(Try the OS topic in my tutorial for a starter)

All of these work more or less as is on Windows.

Finally investigate the MSDN web site for WSH which gives 
you relatively easy access to windows files, printers, registry and 
processes via a set of COM objects that can be instantiated from 
Python.
