Yes, because registry access isn't available yet when wininit.ini is
handled during booting. That's what happens during the
"Configuration files are being updated"
...
"Done"
(roughly translated from German, guess you know what I mean) while the
boot logo is displayed. BTW, no idea why they call it "configuration files" :)
Imagine kernel32, advapi or something else is being replaced...can't use the
registry for it. The format of wininit.ini is pretty simple: ever line is like
newname=oldname
and causes the file named oldname to be renamed to newname. If newname
is nul, the file is deleted.
