Here is a little windows trick Good for those who like to mess with their os.
This is to customise the system properties, details and picture.
All that is needed is two files:
Oeminfo.ini
Oeminfo.bmp

I have provided these files, but if you want to modify them yourself, then here is how:

Oeminfo.ini

System Properties/Support Information create oeminfo.ini (containing headings
[General]
Manufacturer=
Model=
[Support Information]
Line1=" "
Line2=" "

See my attached files from more info.

Oeminfo.bmp

The bmp picture should be 182 pixels wide, and 114 pixels high.

These files need to be in:
Windows 98: C:\WINDOWS\system
Windows 2k: C:\WINNT\system32
Windows xp: C:\WINDOWS\system32

It could be a good idea to back up your original oem files.

After that you can press your windows key and pause/break to get your system properties box displayed.

Looks pretty cool, never had custom OEM info working in Win2k to be honest though.

ah yes, I've done that a few times with XP machines....

It's kind of cool when someone else uses your PC and sees it. They usually ask about it...

thanks for that, i did it also and made the Xs logo background the same color as the window so it looks like a transperant backround :up:

Thanks for sharing :)
