In XP, on the system properties under the general tab; you can have the words Manufactured and Supplied By: then a custom logo.

Does anybody know which registry key controls this?

Also, at least no1 can tell me to search the forums now :) there isn't anything to search!!
 
Afaik, it's not in the registry at all. At least on win9x it was in two files, oemlogo.bmp (the image) and oeminfo.txt or .inf or something similar. They are somewhere in the windows directory Just make them and copy them to the right place and they will show up.
 
I use Xteq to edit mine... it edits the picture also.
 
I don't currently have anything there on my pc, it's just ive seen it on dell pc's etc and wondered how to do it. Any idea where these files go specifficly? As they aint there for me to replace.
 
They are located in the system32 dir within the windows dir and called oeminfo.ini and oemlogo.bmp. If they are not there i could email you the oeminfo.ini if you want, so you can change it to what you want.
 
If you have a Dell system, you can download the zip file for these at :

Extract the oemlogo.bmp and oeminfo.ini files to the Windows/system32 directory. You'll need to edit the oeminfo,ini file to add your service tag number and express service code for your specific machine.
 
I didnt realize this was here in Operating Systems... my bad

Thread moved-
 
could someone post, or mail me oeminfo.ini. i'd rather change it myself then have a program do it for me. PM for email addy. thanks.

also: good to have the users back :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
