I'm working on a project in which I have to do some file handling.

If only someone could tell how to work with file system like moving, copying, deleting, renaming and checking for the existence of files in Windows.

    You are need to show what you have tried. Not just ask for help. Google can answer your question as asked. See: http://stackoverflow.com/help/asking – Richard Critten May 10 '17 at 18:47

Check file management functions section on msdn.

For example, to copy a file with WinAPI you can use CopyFile:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    BOOL ret = CopyFile(TEXT("test.txt"), TEXT("test-copy.txt"), TRUE);
    if (ret)
        std::cout << "CopyFile failed. GetLastError:" << GetLastError() << std::endl;
}

If your compiler supports you may as well use std::filesystem which is portable (e.g. that code should work equally well on windows and linux):

#include <filesystem>

int main()
{
    std::filesystem::copy("test.txt", "test-copy.txt");
}

There is also boost::filesystem that heavily influenced std::filesystem.
