Customizing System Properties For Win 95/Win 98/Win 98SE/Win ME/NT4/Win 2000/Win XP
Windows offers the possibility of adding an image and text on the General tab of System Properties. This feature developed at the base to enable OEMs to put their label will allow us to customize a little more of our Windows.
First be ready to create the image that will be included in the General tab of System Properties. Use your image-editing favorite (built into Windows Paint will very much the case if necessary) to create an image in BMP format. Although the image size is not important which is reduced automatically when viewing, it is advisable not to exceed 180 pixels wide and 114 pixels high.
Once your image file, save under the name of oemlogo.bmp and place it in the system32 directory of Windows.
We will now deal with the insertion of text. Open a text editor such as Notepad and copy the following by entering what you want in the channels between quotation marks (let your imagination run wild!)
[General]
Manufacturer = "Enter the text you want"
Model = "Enter the text you want"
[Support Information]
Line1 = "Enter the text you want"
Line2 = "Enter the text you want"
Line3 = "Enter the text you want"
Line4 = "Enter the text you want"
Line5 = "Enter the text you want"
Line6 = "Enter the text you want"
Line7 = "Enter the text you want"
Line8 = "Enter the text you want"
Line9 = "Enter the text you want"
Line10 = "Enter the text you want"
Save the file oeminfo.ini in the system32 directory of Windows. In the beginning, the first two lines can indicate the name of the manufacturer and model, the following is information about the manufacturer's technical support. A note that nothing requires you to write 10 lines in the [Support Information] ...
Only two lines of the [General] will be visible on the General tab of System Properties. The lines of section [Support Information] will be visible in the window displayed when you click the button Support Info.
You can now admire the result!
