Hi there i'm using the windows 7 'move' command like so:
move /Y "C:\old.sub.folder\folder.i.want.to.move" "F:\new.sub.folder\folder.i.want.to.move"
and i keep getting an 'accessed denied' error yet i have full permissions and the folder i'm trying to move isn't open or being uses?
a random example trying to move one empty folder to another: http://puu.sh/2Rx6b.png

Start a Command Prompt as Administrator by right-clicking on the "Command Prompt" icon in the Windows Start Menu and choose "Run as administrator". Click Continue if you are presented with a confirmation popup message box. In the new command prompt, enter "net user administrator /active:yes".
Go to the Start menu by clicking on the icon at the bottom-left corner of your screen. Type in “cmd” at the Search bar. Once the cmd option pops up, right-click on it then select Run as administrator. On the Command Prompt, type in “net user administrator /active: yes” then press Enter on your keyboard.
Or you could try robocopy with /MOVE argument:
robocopy C:\old\folder F:\new\folder /E /MOVE
Syntax is:
MOVE [/Y| /-Y] [Drive:][Path]Folder1 Folder2
That means, you can rename one folder, but you cannot "move" contents to another drive.
I'm afraid, you have to copy your source-folder to the destination-folder (xcopy) and then delete the source-folder
