Setup Script Files

The TXTSETUP.SIF file and information (.INF) files are what you must modify when you want to customize the Windows NT Setup program to meet the specific needs of your organization. You can customize the Setup program, for example, by adding files and applications to Windows NT or by removing certain unused features, such as OS/2 support, to reduce the amount of disk space needed to install Windows NT.

For more information about .INF files and customizing Windows NT Setup, see Chapter 3, "Customizing Windows NT Setup."
