File Queuing Functions

Using the general Setup functions, you can queue files for various operations. File queues can be established for copying, renaming, and deleting files. Typically, an application queues all the file operations necessary for an entire installation and then "commits" the queue so the operations are performed in a single batch.

The following table provides a summary of file queuing functions. For detailed function descriptions, see the Microsoft Windows SDK documentation.
