Run .bat file from VB.NET to move files

[monkey64]

I have a .bat file which moves files from one location to another:

move "W:\imagedump\*.jpg" "C:\test\"

When I manually click the .bat file, it works perfectly. When I get VB.NET to run the process, I get a quick DOS box flash and nothing happens. I'm guessing it is a security issue. This is how I am calling the file:

Dim MoveProcess As Process = New Process()

MoveProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\ImageUpload\move.bat"
MoveProcess.Start()
MoveProcess.WaitForExit()

Have also tried this:

Shell("C:\ImageUpload\move.bat", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

In both cases the files do not get moved. Any ideas?

Within minutes of posting this, the answer came to me!

It's all to do with permissions for the file itself.
Right click the file, then Properties > Security > Authenticated Users > Edit. Click Full Control. Job done.

Hope it helps someone else in the future.
