After you have finished making your changes with nLite, then go out of nLite and edit the winnt.sif file as you like and then start nLite again and make an ISO of the folder. Or make the ISO with nLite and then afterwards use an app to edit the winnt.sif in the ISO before you burn it.

This is just theory, as i have never done it myself, but i believe that it's correct.

Or else, then i apologise...

Dazzabaker:

Winnt.sif can be found in directory 1386
