WinNTSetup: Personalize your Windows setup before installing it on your computer by using this reliable and straightforward software solution

WinNTSetup is a software utility that can help you create custom versions of Windows setup files in a straightforward manner..

You will need to load the WIM image you want to use via the built-in file browser or find it using the search function. The application currently supports WIM, SWM, ESD, and ISO files.

Once the image is loaded, WinNTSetup will list all available Windows editions supported by the file. It also offers a comprehensive collection of tweaks you can apply to your Windows installer.

For example, you can disable the Windows lock screen, logon animation, and Aero transparency. Furthermore, the program can set the operating system to boot directly to the desktop, and skip over the Start screen. The application can also be used to create a partitioned Virtual Hard Disk (VHD), and attach or detach an existing VHD to your computer.

Among other useful customizations, WinNTSetup lets you disable the 'Shortcut to' string applied whenever a new shortcut is created, as well as remove the arrow from shortcuts.
