With the help of this trick, you can add some extra information such as your company name, phone number, website URL and a personalized logo or image in Windows Vista and 7 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 and 7.
Here is a screenshot of Windows 7 System Properties dialog box with customized strings:
If you also want to customize System Properties window and want to show OEM information and logo in Windows Vista and Windows 7, follow these simple steps:
1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box or Start Menu searchbox and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor, now go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Under this key, look for a key OEMInformation. If it doesn't exist, create it.
2. Now select OEMInformation 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_24x7
SupportPhone - Any_desired_phone_number
SupportURL - Any_desired_URL
NOTE: OEMlogo.bmp file should be 96x96 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, you'll see your desired entries in "System" section and another section will also be created with the same name as you entered in Manufacturer String value. The OEMlogo.bmp file will be shown in right-side of "System" section.
NOTE: Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP or Server 2003 users, visit this tutorial.

Hi there i had a wipro windows CD and i wanted to change the logo and manufacturers name. as u said, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion", i could follow it beyond windows. there is no tab with Current version name. Under the windows, it expands to two tabs i.e. ' En- US' folder and 'Topic Properties' only . HELP :(
