Guys!
By using this hack, you’ll get some extra information and a Logo in Vista System Properties dialog box. Its very much same as the good old “OEMLogo.bmp” and “OEMInfo.ini” files in windows XP but sadly this trick no longer works in Vista.
Here is a screenshot of my current Vista System Properties dialog box with my own customized strings:
So here we go:
1.) Open regedit and goto:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Under this key, create another key OEMInformation.
2.) Now select this new key and in right-side pane, create following String values and set their values as shown below:
Logo - path_of_OEMlogo.bmp_file
Manufacturer - Any_desired_name
Model - Any_desired_name
SupportHours - Any_desired_time_amount_like_24×7
SupportPhone - Any_desired_phone_number
SupportURL - Any_desired_URL
NOTE: OEMlogo.bmp file should be 96×96 in size and can be placed at any location.
3.) Now open System Properties by right-clicking on My Computer icon on desktop and select Properties, u’ll see ur desired entries in “System” section and another section will also be created with the same name as u entered in Manufacturer String value. The OEMlogo.bmp file will be shown in right-side of “System” section.
So Enjoy it as I’m enjoying it in my Vista Ultimate.
