NETDI has the ability to search text files such as Autoexec.bat and Config.sys and insert or remove lines from them. It does this by using the following registry values in the registration section of your INF. The key name under the Ndi key is the name of the file to process. Each line to insert in this file is given a name (specified in the KeyOrder) value. For each line, you can insert or replace text in the file. Replacing a line with a null string effectively deletes the line.
NETDI executes these operations when it is committing changes to the disk.
