randing Windows with your Name !!

Open Notepad dump the following lines into it and Save It with the name OEMINFO.INI in the c:\windows\system32 directory:

- [General]
- Manufacturer=Your Name Here
- Model=Your Model Here
- [Support Information]
- Line1=Your Name Here

- Save the file, then make a right click on my computer select properties, in the general tab a button will be highlighted (support information) make a click on it, you will be able to see the changes.
- Now if you want to display some more information then simply increase the line in the file.

Please always make backups of the files you edit!

You can also create a image called OEMLOGO.bmp

NOTE: Your OEMLOGO.bmp logo must be square and must measure 172 by 172 pixels. If your bitmap image is smaller than this specification, it appears centered in the rectangle. If it is larger than this specification, part of it might appear to be cropped under certain font and screen resolutions, or it might not appear at all.

Another example for OEMINFO.ini.

Code:

[General]
Manufacturer = MyCompany, Inc.
Model = Brand X Processor
SupportURL = http://www.mycompany.com
LocalFile = C:\Winnt\Web\LocalFilename.htm

[Support Information]
Line1= For Technical Support:
Line2= to obtain updated drivers or for information on frequently
Line3= asked questions, visit the MyCompany technical
Line4= support web site at:
Line5=
Line6= http://www.mycompany.com/techsupport.

Note: You always need to have atleast the [General] and [Support Information].

I tried it with Windows 7, but either i did something wrong, or Dell managed to block it somehow.
Anyway, I tried this app, and it works: http://freewareforus.com/2009/05/winbubb...ows-7.html ;)

well you know some windows trick
u cant create a folder name "con"

[HiddenKnowledge]

I created an article about this on my wiki:
http://hiddenknowledge.users.sourceforge...g_OEM_info
And it is possible to create a directory with the name "con", "lpt1", etc. It will just be useless since you can't actually use it.

Nice tutorial, but when you "brand" it, where will it exactly say the name?

[gorby15]

Thanks for that usefull tutorial

[SirHelp]

What does this actually do?
Does it put the name somewhere where it used to saw Windows or something?
Please explain.

[HiddenKnowledge]

It just changes the OEM info, the thing where it sometimes says IBM or your works name or something.
