To confirm if a bootleg was made with nLite or not, look in:
* <code>I386\WINNT.SIF</code> and look for a "Generated by nLite" line at the beginning of the document, for example:
: <precode>; Generated by nLite 1.3</precode>
: <precode>; Generated by nLite 1.4.9.1</precode>
: <precode>; Generated by nLite 1.4.9.3</precode>
* Any files named <code>nlite.inf</code> and all INF files for the keywords "nLite" including comments (usually at EOF) in <code>I386</code>
* The line <code>"rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,U"</code> in the file <code>cmdlines.txt</code> in the folder <code>$OEM$</code>. This will also confirm the existence of <code>nLite.inf</code> in <code>I386</code>, which is the file that holds the component tweaks done by nLite according to the user.
 
To confirm if a bootleg was made with Windows Unattended CD Creator or not, look in:
* A file named <code>settings.txt</code> in the CD root, and if it contains a comment with the keywords "Windows Unattended CD Creator" as the first line of the file.
 
To confirm if a bootleg was made with VistaPE or not, look in:
* A file named <code>VISTAPE.CD</code> in the CD root
 
To confirm if a bootleg uses any boot selectors or not, look in:
* The bootleg's bootloader code itself, obviously
* Any folders named "EZBOOT" (''EasyBoot'', most common), "AIRBOOT" (''Aero Loader'', also common) "BCDW" (''Bootable CD Wizard'', mostly used in Russian bootlegs), or "BOOT" (''CDShell'') in the CD root
* A file named "AUTORUN.ARU" (''Longtion Autorun (Pro (Enterprise (II)))'')
 
To confirm the program used to make a bootleg's autorun:
* Check the file's version information. This will usually do the trick, in most cases
* Use any binary checking tool, such as Detect It Easy
* Search for strings in the binary itself. It may lead you to extra clues such as version information which may be inaccessible otherwise
* Look for any files pertaining to the autorun maker itself, such as:
* ''For StartCD:'' Click the program's icon at the top left of the program window or right click the program in the tasklist, and click "About"
*: A file named "AUTORUN.ARU" (''Longtion Autorun (Pro (/Enterprise (/II)))'', seen in Vietnamese bootlegs)
: Any files with the extension of "CDD" (''AutoPlay Media Studio'', most common)
* Search for strings in the binary itself. It may lead you to extra clues such as version information which you may not be inaccessibleobvious otherwise
* ''For StartCD:'' Click the program's icon at the top left of the program window, or right click the program in the tasklist, and click "About"
