September 11, 2003 by | 2 Comments

It is possible to change some of the text shown on System Properties, which is shown when right clicking My Computer and selecting Properties.
  1. Go to the folder %Windir%\System
  2. Create a new text file and name it OemInfo.ini
  3. Edit the new text file and insert the following lines (Modify them as you wish)

    [general]
    Manufacturer=Dell
    Model=XPS200s

    [Support Information]
    Line1=These lines will be
    Line2=shown when pressing
    Line3=the button "Support Information"
    Line4=
    Line5=Cheers

It is also possible to place a nice logo on the System Properties:
  1. Find a good BMP picture in 256 color and make sure it has the right size:
    • Win9x: 96 x 96 pixels (Small fonts), 120 x 120 pixels (Large fonts)
    • Win2k/XP: 172 x 172 pixels
  2. Copy the picture to %Windir%\System and rename it to OemInfo.bmp
Note it is also possible to place the two files in %Windir%\System32 if on a WinNT+ installation.
