Delete files in Windows Vista

[=?Utf-8?B?Qm9iRg==?=]

I need to move files between folders. I am using VB.Net 2005. First I check
the target folder to see if the files exist, and if so, delete them. Then I
move the replacements, one at a time using:
If File.Exists(str FileName) then
File.Delete(str FileName)
End If
File.Move(strFi leOldName, strNewFileName)

This works just fine in Windows XP. It works in Windows Vista (Release
version) with UAC turned off. With UAC turned on it fails. I don't even get
the UAC prompt.

I was logged on to Vista as a member of the Domain Administrators group when
this occured. Any ideas?

Well, you answered your own question haven't you.

It's obvious that it's the UAC, so, if I were you, I'd be researching the
ins and outs of the UAC.

Bob,
In addition to the other comments, this is a good starting article to learn
about programming with the UAC.

"Least Privilege - Teach Your Apps To Play Nicely With Windows Vista User
Account Control"

Well, that's what I was asking - if anyone know about the UAC and where I
could go to find out. Thankfully, someone else gave me some useful info.
