I saw this tweak in a friend’s blog about how one can edit manufacturer and support information of system properties. Actually, I think it’s a useless tweak and I can’t just figure out why someone would want to edit manufacturer logo and support information and put something rubbish instead. In my view a tweak should be something that should make a function more efficient but in this case it seems like just for fun which I don’t prefer.
Still, what the hell 
!!! It sure would be fun to have your face instead of your manufacturer’s logo huh? I have tried it now in my Windows XP but I don’t know if it’d work in other versions of OS (should would if it can find the appropriate files). Here’s the trick I copied from that fren’s blog:
- Navigate to the Windows system directly, normally “C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM” for Windows 95, 98 and Me and “C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32? for Windows NT and 2000, and “C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32? for Windows XP.
- Find the INI file called “OEMINFO.INI”.
- If there isn’t one, create the file by opening a notepad name it as OEMINFO.INI.
- Copy and paste the following in the OEMINFO.INI file.
[General]
Manufacturer=Your Company, Inc.
Model=Your Computer Model
SupportURL=http://www.yoursite.com
[Support Information]
Line1=first line of support information
Line2=second line
Line3=third line
…
LineN=nth line
(You can create as many lines as you need by incrementing the line number)
To change the logo file,
- Again go to the Windows system directory ( “C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32? )
- Find OEMLOGO.BMP and if there isn’t create one with your desired logo.
- Remember the standard Windows bitmap file is 160 x 114 pixels in Windows XP
After the changes have been made in the file and saved just check the system properties (System Properties from Control Panel or simply right click My Computer and then select properties) and you’ll see that the logo has been changes and also the manufacturer information has been modified. The details you entered in the [Support Information] section will show up when you click on the Support Information button. Just see what my friend has done to the system properties of his computer. HAHA !!! Funny huh??
