Here is a clunky way of doing it in powershell:

$a = "C:\Folder\"
$a +=get-date -format MMMM
xcopy "c:\30*.zip" $a /I

	Thank you so much @soandos, but he ask me : "Does C:\New Folder\New Folder\December specify a file name or directory name on the target (F = file, D = directory)?" how to skip this? – Mahmoud Alsaadi Dec 25 '11 at 9:33

For another command script way to do this, using JP Software's TCC/LE, simply use the %_MONTHF implicit environment varable and the ordinary copy command. It's a one-liner:

copy /MD C:\30*.zip C:\Folder\%_MONTHF\
