A batch file is just a file; there's nothing preventing you from doing anything you want to it, including a move.

i mean move it by using another batch file. ou see, someone keeps moving this one file and i want to just run a batch to move it instead of wasting 30 seconds of my life doing something that a batch can (hopefully) do

If you know where there're moving it, then yes.
If they keep moving it around, you could search for it, but you would need to know where to start looking.

Then just do a move.

move "%userprofile%\My Documents\some.bat" "c:\wherever"

move "%userprofile%\C:\Documents and Settings\hatlad\My Documents\Misc\Applications\Batch files\hello.bat" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
did i do something wrong??
