Developer’s Description

By Microsoft
Dumps the contents of the pending rename or delete value.
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 HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations value. This applet dumps the contents of the pending rename/delete value and also reports an error when the source file is not accessible.
