Yes, AEWP is what you'll need. You factor out your "move the file"
code into a helper tool and execute that with AEWP.
Much of the advice about avoiding AEWP is to steer people away from
needlessly elevating their own privileges, and when they do need to do
so ensuring that they take the time to read and understand the sample
code.
