moving file required admin rights does twice

Moving a file that required admin rights, it does it twice!

If you move a file that requires Admin rights to move, and move it from one volume to another, it seems to move it twice.
In my case, moving a 2gb file:
1. Cut the file from C: and paste to D: 2. You get the "calculating time remaining" prompt, the disks go crazy for 3 mins whilst it copies the file from C: to D: 3. You then get the "You need admin rights to move this file" prompt - after it's already copied it! This is obviously to delete the original 4. Click Continue 5. UAC kicks in and prompts "File Operation" (if your moving to a network share, you get a logon failure at this point) 6. The file it's just copies gets deleted 7. Disks go crazy for another 3 mins whilst it recopies the file

I've started using cmd/windows shell a LOT more on Vista when I suspect it's going to take time. There's actually few nice new features there too like mklink that might save you a lot of time in some cases doing linking instead of copying.
