Notice the new OEM logo and text near processor and RAM information.
Once you click on "Support Information" button, it'll open a new dialog box:
So here we start our tutorial:
1. You'll need following 2 files in "Windows\System32" folder to show OEM information and logo in System Properties dialog box:
- OEMlogo.bmp
- OEMinfo.ini
OEMInfo.ini file is a text file which can be created using any text editor like Windows built-in Notepad. It contains some predefined strings in following format:
[General]1st section [General] is required but 2nd section [Support Information] is optional.
Manufacturer=
Model=
[Support Information]
Line1=
Line2=
Following is an example of a ready-made OEMInfo.ini file:
[General]You can put any desired text in each line after the equal (=) sign.
Manufacturer=Tweaking with Vishal
Model=http://www.AskVG.com
[Support Information]
Line1=This file was provided by:
Line2=
Line3=Vishal Gupta
Line4=
Line5=Who is a Microsoft MVP
Line6=
Line7=And also runs Tweaking with Vishal website.
Line8=
Line9=http://www.AskVG.com
2. Once you create both OEMLogo.bmp and OEMInfo.ini files, copy the files to %windir%\System32 folder. Here %windir% means "Windows" directory present in system drive where Windows is installed in your system e.g. C:\Windows. For more information check this topic.
3. That's it. Now you can see the new OEM information and logo in System Properties of Windows XP.
NOTE: Even if you want to show only the logo, both files OEMLogo.bmp and OEMInfo.ini must be present in "Windows\System32" folder.
PS: If you are using Windows 98 or Me, place both files in "Windows\System" folder instead of "Windows\System32" and if you are using Windows 2000, place both files in "WinNT\System32" folder.
NOTE: For your convenience, we are attaching ready-made OEMLogo.bmp and OEMInfo.ini files which can be downloaded using following links:
