+==== Injected files ====
+You can provide additional files to ''wimboot''.  These files will appear within the ''X:\Windows\System32'' directory.  For example:
+    kernel wimboot
+    initrd winpeshl.ini     winpeshl.ini
+    initrd startup.bat      startup.bat
+    initrd boot/bcd         BCD
+    initrd boot/boot.sdi    boot.sdi
+    initrd sources/boot.wim boot.wim
+    boot
+You can use this to control the boot process after Windows PE has started.  For example, you can use a [[:howto:winpe#adding_a_startup_batch_file|startup batch file]] to automatically start the Windows installer from a network share.
