Hello everyone,

Here is a very cool tip on how to change the system properties Logo in windows xp. This is very cool and looks professional if you are a system builder like me. You could put your own business logo in the system properties, with your business information and everything. Here is how is done:

Create your own logo image in a graphic .bmp file. Ideally the image should be maximum 180 pixels wide and 120 pixels high. (you could use any photo editing program)

Copy your logo image file over to the system32 subdirectory under the Windows system directory (usually c:\windows\system32)

Rename your image file to oemlogo.bmp

If you want to add your contact info in the system properties screen, create a file called oeminfo.ini in the same system32 directory and copy this in the file: (in notepad)

[General]
Manufacturer=TEXT YOU WANT
Model=TEXT YOU WANT
[Support Information]
line1=ATC Doha
line2=DOha-Qatar
line3=TEXT YOU WANT
line4=TEXT YOU WANT

(TIP: if you build the system you could include the model of the motherboard, ram info, etc. This will help you later in the future to troubleshoot the pc.)

Open the oeminfo.ini file with your text editor of choice and edit the sections under "General" and "Support Information"

Tips: For best results, the image should contain 256 colors. The image file size should be around 23k.

Thread stickied, useful for starting a business computer, and pretty cool.
