The Move-ItemProperty cmdlet moves a property of an item from one item to another item. For instance, it can move a registry entry from one registry key to another registry key. When you move an item property, it is added to the new location and deleted from its original location.

Parameters
`-Credential [<PSCredential>]` Accepts pipeline input ByPropertyName Specifies a user account that has permission to perform this action. The default is the current user. Type a user name, such as User01 or Domain01User01, or enter a PSCredential object, such as one generated by the Get-Credential cmdlet. If you type a user name, you will be prompted for a password. This parameter is not supported by any providers installed with Windows PowerShell.
`-Destination <String>` This value is required Accepts pipeline input ByPropertyName Specifies the path to the destination location.
`-Exclude [<String[]>]` Specifies, as a string array, a property or property that this cmdlet excludes from the operation. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. Enter a path element or pattern, such as *.txt. Wildcards are permitted.
`-Filter [<String>]` Specifies a filter in the provider’s format or language. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. The syntax of the filter, including the use of wildcards, depends on the provider. Filters are more efficient than other parameters, because the provider applies them when this cmdlet gets the objects rather than having Windows PowerShell filter the objects after they are retrieved.
`-Force [<SwitchParameter>]` Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
`-Include [<String[]>]` Specifies, as a string array, a property or property that this cmdlet moves in the operation. The value of this parameter qualifies the Path parameter. Enter a path element or pattern, such as *.txt. Wildcards are permitted.
`-LiteralPath <String[]>` This value is required Accepts pipeline input ByPropertyName Specifies the path to the current location of the property. Unlike the Path parameter, the value of LiteralPath is used exactly as it is typed. No characters are interpreted as wildcards. If the path includes escape characters, enclose it in single quotation marks. Single quotation marks tell Windows PowerShell not to interpret any characters as escape sequences.
`-Name <String[]>` This value is required Accepts pipeline input ByPropertyName Specifies the name of the property to be moved.
`-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]` Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
`-Path <String[]>` This value is required Accepts pipeline input ByValue Specifies the path to the current location of the property. Wildcards are permitted.
`-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]` Default value is false Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
`-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]` Default value is false Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
`-UseTransaction [<SwitchParameter>]` Default value is false Includes the command in the active transaction. This parameter is valid only when a transaction is in progress.
`<CommonParameters>` This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable.

Specifies the name of the property to be moved.

-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

-Path <String[]>

-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

Default value is false

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
