You must create a batch file to select one random file from a folder and copy to another folder

Question

I need to create a batch file for Windows, which will select a random file from a specific folder, and then copy this file to another folder. I still need a copy of this file to stay in its original location.

FYI, this must be a batch file.

Thanks in advance for your help ...
