How to cancel deferred MoveFileEx operation?

Question

I use the below command to delete some files after reboot the machine:

MoveFileEx(PChar(File_Address), Nil, MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);

How can i cancel execution of this command and prevent files from deleting after reboot?

Answer 1

Files you enqueue for deletion this way are placed in the registry under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations. Perhaps you can delete entries from there, to prevent the files from being deleted. I couldn't find an API function for this.
