system.ini file
A start-up file for the Windows operating system. When you start Windows, it
consults the
system.ini file to determine a variety of options for the Windows
operating environment. Among other things, the
system.ini file records which
video, mouse, and keyboard drivers are installed for Windows.
Running the
Control Panel or Windows Setup program may change options in
the
system.ini file. Occasionally, you may need to change or add options to the
system.ini file manually with a text editor, such as Notepad.

to run Windows Setup, install an operating system from a network share,
automate basic processes, and perform hardware validation.
