With the new BuildOS, I cannot have initial access to this file since it's in the password protected rar file. Actually, I did a search in and I didn't see the file at all. I was able to pull that file out of the dump folder and make the appropriate changes as before.
What I would like to know is if I can put this new, edited file in the Patches folder and it will overwrite just as the folder was designed. It's not an OEM, per say, as it has other vital information for the OS to load (system folders and shortcuts).
Should this overwrite work?
Thanks again.

No, unfortunately it will not. initflashfiles.dat is compiled prior to the patch folder files being copied in. If you try it, net result is that you'll be missing any of the items in initflashfiles.txt files from the OEMs you selected.
The password to the rar archive is not a secret--it's "PPCGeeks" (no quotes). It's just meant to keep some degree of consistency to a kitchen build (makes it much easier to troubleshoot) and to encourage users to make all their changes via OEMs and patches.
So until we figure out what to do about initflashfiles feel free to go in there and edit it directly if you want to.
