   Many thanks for script! Unfortunately I can't get it working. I have tested it   
   and the script itself is working just perfectly but it fails when moving files   
   where it gives message "Access denied". I googled the problem and one   
   explanation is that when    
   source file is in use then "move" don't work so I changed "move" function with   
   "robocopy" and now it don't give any message but not moving the files.   
      
   robocopy %file1% %TargetDir1%>nul /A /MOV   
      
   I also tried to run as administrator but then script failed to find file size   
   "set size3="   
   Also it seems that %~z1 works only with local folders and failed with my   
   external hard drive to give file size.   
   Could you possibly have idea why it's not moving files.
