In tip 181 I described one method for replacing inuse files.
NOTE: See MoveFile.exe for a much simpler method.
You can also replace inuse files by editing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager and ammend or Add Value name PendingFileRenameOperations, a type REG_MULTI_SZ value. Each rename use two lines
Line 1 contains: \??\<Drive:>\<SourcePath>\SourceFileName.Extension
Line 2 contains: !\??\<Drive:>\<DestinationPath>\DestinationFileName.Extension
If you had additional files, they would be line 3 and 4, 5 and 6, etc....
At the next boot, the <Drive:>\<SourcePath>\SourceFileName.Extension
is moved to the <Drive:>\<DestinationPath>\DestinationFileName.Extension
and the PendingFileRenameOperations value name is deleted.
