Server Core and the PIF
The Program Information File (PIF) is an addition to a DOS application that controls how Windows
interacts with the application. You don??™t start the application using the PIF (although double-clicking
the PIF will start the application), but the PIF always affects how Windows works with the application.
From a command line perspective, you can use a PIF to perform two special tasks. First, you can create
custom AutoExec.NT and Config.NT for the application so you can control the application environment.
Second, you can add command line switches to the application command line so that the application
starts with the features you want to use.
When working with a graphical version of Windows, you simply right-click the DOS application you
want to modify and choose Properties from the context menu. This act actually creates the PIF. Unfortunately,
Server Core lacks Windows Explorer, which means you don??™t have access to the usual graphical
means of creating a PIF. At one time, Microsoft also provided the PIFEdit utility.
