Solved Access Denied (5) message on Shutdown or Restart script

[DPChristm]

I have two shortcuts on my desktop
Shutdown shortcut C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /f /s /t 0
And Restart Shortcut C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /f /t 0
I noticed today that when I try to run either one, I get this message:
Access is Denied.(5)
This is something new.
Anyone familiar with this?

Does it work if you right click and run as admin?

Copy shutdown to another folder and try

Thanks! That worked. Although I am confused.
I had both those shortcuts on my desktop for the last couple of years and they always worked.
Why did they suddenly stop working?
