Changing System Info

[Macca]

Hi,

Is there any way I can change the area in control
panel/system general tab where my computer displays the
maunfacturer and support imformation?

Many thanks

System Properties is the property sheet that opens when My Computer is =
right clicked and Properties is chosen.=20

There are two files that need to be in c:\windows\system, OemInfo.ini =
and OemLogo.bmp.=20

OemLogo.Bmp works best as a 16 colour (but can be higher) bitmap with a =
maximun size of approximately 100 high x 160 wide pixels. Use MS Paint =
to create.=20

The logo in the picture was made with Wordart in Microsoft Word. Then =
pasted into MS Paint and saved as a 256 color bitmap. 256 colours was =
used because it stopped the shadow from dithering.



Copy the below lines into a file called OemInfo.ini in the =
c:\windows\system32 directory. There is no need to reboot to see =
changes.=20

; Sample OEMINFO.INI
; 3/23/95
; This file contains manufacturer, model and support information
; that is displayed in the system control panel.
; Manufacturer and Model are displayed on System.General page
; Manufacturer is a required field
[general]
;Be careful not to leave any trailing spaces after your manufacturer =
name!
Manufacturer=3DYour Name
Model=3DYour Model No.
; The [OEMSpecific] keys are not displayed,
; but may be used by the OEM for system-specific information.

[OEMSpecific]
SubModel=3D0000000 ;optional additional oem =
info
SerialNo=3D0000000 ;etc.
;OEM1=3DYour private info ;etc.
;OEM2=3DMore private info ;etc.
; Support Info displayed when "Support Information..." button selected
[Support Information]
Line1=3DFor Technical Support:
Line2=3D Call whoever
Line3=3D =20
Line4=3D
Line5=3D
Line6=3D
Line7=3D
Line8=3D
Line10=3D There is no line 9 so line 10 does not get displayed

This registry file alters the text that appears in the System Properties =
property sheet. This is the text that appears underneath the OemInfo =
text.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Description\System\Cen tralProcessor\0]
"VendorIdentifier"=3D"Cyrix"
"Identifier"=3D"6x86(tm)"

Look in the Windows/system directory for two files, one called oemlogo.bmp
which is the optional graphic displayed bottom-left on the system properties
page, the other file is oeminfo.ini, which is a text file which contains all
the text you're looking for.
The format of the text file should by self-explanatory.

You could try pressing Esc. Sometimes that works to dismiss the logo
screen.
