If you are accessing windows XP as your operating system then this tip will help very much. Do know about this? Not many of us know that we are able to change the windows operating system default identity which is actually known to be Computer Manufacturer Logo and other such information and you are able to share some private identity at that particular option. For initial information you just have to right click on My Computer and then click on Properties, here you are able to view computer manufacture logo or if possible some empty area. So you are able to add your own logo in order to make your computer more private.

Steps to Change Windows System Default Properties Identity:

Initially click on Start button and then type in notepad as Run option and then press Enter.

Now try to type the following text inside the notepad:

Manufacturer= "XYZ"
Model= "XYZ"
