Hello crazyjust, Actually, just to add to what Johnhc said, if you don't mind other users having that same file on their desktop as well, you can simply add this folder to the root of your Windows Source directory (the one that nLite uses to create its files): $OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Desktop ...and just add your textfile to that directory. When your nLited Windows installation finishes, I think you will find the file on your desktop. If you already have a username in mind, and try the following directory structure: $OEM$\$Docs\Username\Desktop ...you may find that windows will create a folder with that particular username in "Documents and Settings", but if your Admin name is the same as the user name you'd like to use (since we can do so in nLite), you may get Documents and Settings\Username Documents and Settings\Username.WorkGroup ...like Johnhc said, there may be a problem because Windows didn't create the file structures yet when Windows gets to the $OEM$ folder (account initialization not complete), but you can give it a shot if you'd like. There may be a setting you have to enable in nLite to be able to use the $OEM$ folder though - I'm not sure anymore. Good luck in your quest for an answer!
