At least Win95 and decendants store the file in <windows>/wininit.ini.
Yes, because registry access isn't available yet when wininit.ini is handled during booting. That's what happens during the "Configuration files are being updated" ... "Done" (roughly translated from German, guess you know what I mean) while the boot logo is displayed. BTW, no idea why they call it "configuration files" :) Imagine kernel32, advapi or something else is being replaced...can't use the registry for it. The format of wininit.ini is pretty simple: ever line is like newname=oldname and causes the file named oldname to be renamed to newname. If newname is nul, the file is deleted. - -- Malte Starostik PGP: 1024D/D2F3C787 [C138 2121 FAF3 410A 1C2A 27CD 5431 7745 D2F3 C787]
