WinPE Prestart and Startup
Updated: 20 Jun 2008
I just discovered that you can customize WinPE using the prestart and startup folders.
Here are some things to keep in mind when using the folders:
- All batch files you add to the prestart folder are run just before the network loads.
- All batch files you add to the startup folder are run just after the network loads.
- The batch files are run in alphabetical order.
- If your batch file launches another batch file, be sure to use the call command, or it will not return to the WinPE startup batch.
- If your batch file launches a program that will stay running be sure to use the start command, or it will hang and the WinPE boot will not continue.
