Overview
What is PendMoves?
PendMoves : See what files are scheduled for delete or rename the next time the system boots
In depth
A closer look at PendMoves
There are several applications, such as service packs and hotfixes, that must replace a file that's in use and is unable to. Windows therefore provides the MoveFileEx API to rename or delete a file and allows the caller to specify that they want the operation to take place the next time the system boots, before the files are referenced. Session Manager performs this task by reading the registered rename and delete commands from the HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerPendingFileRenameOperations value. This applet dumps the contents of the pending rename/delete value and also reports an error when the source file is not accessible.
